I had posted earlier about how to fish after some severe storms. Well, it was a successful day on the lake! I caught two bass, one 3 lb largemouth and 2 lb smallmouth, both were caught with a crankbait. Which was a first for me. I always used soft baits in the past, but reading about using crankbaits here have tried them from time to time.

I used the information from the articles and posts and feel that it greatly helped me on my quest! Now just hope I can get the photo to show up! LOL!

Thanks again to everyone here!

nice fish congrats

Nice fish dude,crankbaits RULE!

Now turn around and run that guy out of your spot. ;D  He's clearly violated the giving someone some space rule.

I would have, but.........................................................that is my father-in-law! He kinda help me get the boat and I am usually with him. However, he was digging for his crankbait after he saw me catch mine!  ;D

Cool man.

I love crankin'

Good job.

Congrats ! Nice bass!

You are going to find that the more you use a crankbait that there is a ton of situations where there isn't a better bait to use. There is a time and place for most lures but there is no better lure for most conditions than a crankbait if used correctly.

that is a pretty and healthy fish!  hope you stick with the cranks.  

and now were going to see if chris will tell us about the correct ways to use a crankbait?  Chris your tips have helped me in the past and i cant help but be curious to your methods!  please tell us! im sure southern want to hear too so he can get more of those beauties in the boat.

that fish looks really healthy, i like that pattern of black dots on its belly.  pretty fish!

Great looking bass southern!

Congrats on the first of many on a CB too!
