Unfortunately, not a bass. Caught on a swimbait of all things.

Nice fish.

New name? 

Just using the real name these days.

Worst part about the trip yesterday, is I caught TWO, this one went 12.55 and the other one was just a tad over 8lbs.

What swimmer were you using??

Nice fish David P. I think they are a gas! I catch them early spring & fall when fishing for smallies on lake erie. They will definitely light up your gear when they hit. We catch them on jerk baits all the time. Over our way anything in the teens is considered a trophy.

My first introduction to a swimbait was about ten years ago and came from a trophy trout hunter. I don't remember exactly what the bait was but it was a wooden bait similar to an A/C Minnow. It may have even been homemade. He trolled them on lead core line. This guy had a photo album that would make your jaw drop from the big browns,bows,Macks and cut throats.

Nice fish by the way. A 12lb Bow is just as fun as a DD bass in my opinion. You were catching 8lb+ fish... How is that a bad thing? I don't care if its a carp a big fish is a big fish and you had a day you won't soon forget. To Cool 8-)

WOW!  Nice trophy.  Would you take that over the bass in your avatar?

I haven't heard that in over a year! Used to get it on a weekly basis, I guess now that he's not as popular, the comments have died down.
