after a long battle with mishaps this last week....straightened hook,stolen swimbait tail,short strikes at the bank,giant followers,and MANY hours on the water. I was fortunet enough to get this chunky girl she went 10.3

 Dayyyummm, you done good fella ;D! Seriously nice fish !!!

                           As Ever,

YEEEEA BOY!!!!!

Beautiful!  Such healthy coloration, proportions,....WOW

Swimbait?

thanks guys..she was indeed a healthy fish she looked to have an appetite for destruction and probably had already had breakfast and wanted an early lunch! I got her on an 8" topwater glide bait....she missed the first time so I threw back three times over a few different angles and she finally hooked up! it was a nice fight being on braided line.

"Glide" as in like a super fluke does when you kill it?

Can u link me to a glide bait?  (doesn't have to be the one you used, just an example )

Many swimaits, I don't have the patience for.  I know how deadly a hit on a dying bait can be, it might be the one that gets me in the S/B game.  I know it will only take 1 good fish and my days of throwing for a dozen 2 pounders are over,lol.

check your pm's
