For color go with black. I would say wake baits, buzzbaits, jitterbugs. Texas and carolina rigged worms. Spinnerbaits with single colorado blade. All theser baits should move a lot of water. Rand

I was just getting ready to start an identical post. Keep it coming guys. More ideas the better. Rand

I was also going to suggest a G Blanks. For $160 you look into a Shimano Crucial. Great rods for the price. Rand

I have lots of options with rod and reel. I have a GLX that would go great with this app. Its for C-Rigs and jigs. But I have to get it sent back because it has broken tip. For now could go with Revo SX, Revo STX, TD Z, TD Fuego. Prob put the reel on a Daiwa L&T Its a Heavy power rod for big jigs and such. As for line probe PLine CXX. Just because that is what I have right now. As far as baits just got some Rage Space Monkeys and Craw that I am wanting to try as well as some RI Sweet Beavers. Rand

Looking to get some buoys. Have yall had any luck with a particular brand? Rand

Thanks for the info guys. Do you generally use lighter line than mainline for leader? Rand

What's the word on release date for the new baits. Rand

Nice fish dude! All my biggest fish (7-11,7-11,7-13) have come on Spinning gear. Not ultralight but still awesome. Rand

Starting to get the Humminbird SI dialed in. Been finding a lot of sweet deep water spots. Just wondering what your favorite C-Rig baits were? What's your C-Rig setup consist of? Does anyone use braid as a leader? Just thinking maybe that would have better durability. Either that or was going to try some Yo zuri Hybrid 15lb test. Rand

That's a sweet deal. Raul are you sure you aren't the baitmonkey in disguise as a BR member? Rand

I would also suggest checking craigslist. You can usually find aluminum boats on there. Rand

INNOVATIVE! I like it. Braid is bomb

Florida strain rulez man. Lived there for three years and it was great. Good fish and locale. Rand

Indiana has been crazy hot for min. Hope this weather breaks soon. Otherwise only early morning late night trips for this guy. Rand

From what I have heard or read all the Rage Baits are greeeattt. Check out the rage website and register for message board. Lots of guys from here are on there. http://www.ragetail.com/ Rand

Been looking at one myself. But haven't heard anything about them. I do have Ram mount for Hummbird SI and its bad a**. Rock solid. Rand

Great fish. May have potential to get bigger. Has a huge mouth and head on it. Rand

Once you are holding it in your hands there won't be any doubt...........................................Now just enjoy and fish it like crazy. Rand

Thanks for the input. You can tell when you hit with a post by how many responses you get. Good Stuff. Nice fish CoryJames

What's your frog set up consist of? I currently am using a Revo SX on a Daiwa Light and Tough Frog rod. Reel spooled with 30lb Power Pro braid. I usually throw Rage Toads!!!. Going to venture into hollow bodys too. Prob have to have 2 frog rods though. Can't go out without Rage Toad on. Rand

Yo zuri hybrid is lights out. I use and have used it on lots of reels. Spinning and casting. Its great. Dont really know that color matters. Just ask roadwarrior. He swears by it and fishes it a lot. Says that color makes no difference. Rand

Good deal Outdoorsman. I also fish Geist. Do you catch much of size there? I have always heard of how great of res it is. But yet to catch anything larger than 3.5lbs. Haven't fished Glenn Flint or Eagle Creek. How are they doing this year? Rand
