Lights, camera,action
Tough break, Jake. I'm just a little west of you and those cameras haven't made it out here yet. I don't think I really run red lights though. Where do you have to be when it turns red to avoid being ticketed.

This is AWESOME!
I think your Astro's stole that idea from there recent visit to Arlington. The Rangers have been doing that this year. I might be mistaken but I think theirs is for every game. I don't think the Rangers were the first either.

smaller swimbait setup
That rod T-rig posted looks real sweet and has similar stats as the rod I suggested above. I was really trying to find a 7' rod. The 7.5 won't fit in the back of a SWB Ford. I think the extra 6" helps with the casting though. I don't know what a Bass Magic with a weighted hook weighs but it can't be much over 1/2oz if any. I was shocked to see that a rod rated for 1/2oz-3oz cast those little bitty swimbaits so well.

smaller swimbait setup
I have a G-Loomis SWBR904C I bought just for the purpose of using on smaller swimbaits. Its a M 7'6" rated for 1/2-3oz. In my opinion perfect for smaller swimbaits. Recently took it on a guided fork trip. Like an idiot I let my buddy use it. We were fishing Bass magics and I thought a MH with a little lower lure rating would cast better. I was WAY wrong. He could out cast me and the stick set the hook better and handled the fish better. I was using a MH St.Croix Legend Tournament series. The guide, who is sponsored by G Loomis, also just raved about the 904. He said he was going to buy a swimbait rod, but thought they would be to much of a broom stick for the smaller baits. After the trip he said if I don't have one of those the next time you go out with me the trip is free. Hope he doesn't get around to buying one.

The Best Month of my LIFE maybe a new PB!!
Great fish. Awesome story. I would of guessed 7lbs, but you can't tell just by a pic. You need to get a scale. I've seen pictures of a 9lbers that looked smaller than yours, and pics of 5lbers that look bigger.

Awesome fish man. Congratulations.

Baby Brush Hogs
I t-rig mine and usually bounce them off the bottom. You'll love this bait. IMO, its the best *** sales.

Best Paddle Tail Swimbaits
The only ones i've used a lot are the Luck "E" Strike Bass Magic's. I really like em. Could have something to do with the personal best caught on them. If cost is a factor you can make them last a little longer by sliding the hook tip, not connected your line, through the nose of the bait and out the bottom like you normally would. Then put the eye of the hook through the hole you just made and tie your line on. This is a pain since you have to re-tie after every fish, but it keeps the weighted hook from tearing the nose of the bait, saving a little money.
