Me and my brother went to this local pond near his house for some night fishing. I started off tossing my bomb but no luck so I switched over to what I thought would work. I tossed out the Bandit 200 bluegill, Bandit footloose tennessee shad, Buzz bait, Xcalibur crome/blue and nothing seem to work. I did toss out the Smokin Rooster(watermelon red) a few times as well which I had a couple of hits on. I actually one strong one that just just shot off like a rocket but couldn't manage to set the hook. My brother he tried his black Jitterbug with no luck and a few of his lures out. Earlier he had one get off my same rattletrap at the shoreline (the same rattle trap I was tossing). So I finally switched over to my small Chatterbait with a Live Magic Shad for a trailer.  I had to powerful hookups but manage not to land them. One was dragging out my reel with ease (I'll be back for that one).I finally landed my first fish which was a 1.5 lb crappie, which is by far the biggest crappie I ever landed. My brother then switched to my larger Chatterbait and claims to have one monster hookup, screaming for my help I come running over to see nothing on his line??  He says from what he seen of it had to be easy 4lbs. Later on I landed another fish, a 2.3 lb bass. My biggest bass this year so far, THANK GOD!! I ended the night with 3 while whipping my brother out to his 0, unless you count the get away.

I'm shocked that I didn't land a Bat too. He kept swooping for my lure every time I cast out. Man wouldn't that be a picture to see.

Sounded like fun Man  and that's a Smoker Size Crappie you got too...WTG

Thank you and what is nice about it, that is my first catch using a Chatterbait. Let's say I'll be going back there soon. You can walk around this whole pond. I'm trying to talk my wife in going next time.

WTG, nice fish. I like the chatterbait at night.
