i was fortunate enough to do some more bait testing today with Chris (CJ on here).  Chris is one of the best people walking on this planet and a bassin' phenom.  but with a 30 degree temp swing (for the worse), we both figured the day would be very tough.  as y'all know, post cold front fishing can humble you and make you question your sanity in a hurry.  honestly neither of us would have been shocked to reel in a big fat goose egg today.  initially it looked like that was exactly what was going to happen.  but as the day wore on some small fish started chomping.  by evening things were looking up.  we finally got the bite we were looking for as the sun sank below the tree line.  this chunky 6-14 made for a nice way to end our day.  unfortunately it looks like we must continue this drudgery until we get these baits right.

I had my best day of the year yesterday and we had that massive temperature swing today over here. That's awesome you caught a beast in this. I fished a drop shot for a couple hours at rush hour traffic pace and ground out a 10" largie and called it quits.

 

It's supposed to stay pretty cold for a bit after Tuesday.

Great looking catch.  I think that you're on the right path for your prototype... 

Nice one! The ice is gone in Michigan so I'll be a field tester. Lips are sealed.
