A couple pics from yesterday...
My fishing buddy and I have made a pact that we will use no bait smaller than 6". With the exception of top water baits.
All I can say is if you dont own a 4 1/2" Jitter Bug, you should! The action on this lure was just crazy. Caught a few 2 pound fish. Missed a 5 +. The largest fish landed was a 5 pound 7 ouncer (in the photo below). The other photo is of a 4 pound 11 ouncer jumping, got it on white titanium spinner....

Hmmm, I'm sure those are some great fish, but, I can't see the pics? What web sight did you link them from? It may be one my dad's fire wall blocks.
We've had a lot of rain the last few days ah! The ponds I fish needed it though! btw, what lake was it?

Nice pics and fish! maybe you should keep that 6" minimum going with a 6" jitterbug! yes, they do make them.
I can get you a link to a shop you can buy it from if you want to. BB

Thanks a bunch! PS: Going to try 6" tubes next. Also order Ish's 12/0 tube hook. Hoping that throwing something new might give the educated bass a little motivation to bite.

Maybe I asked in the past, forgive me if I forgot...
How do you always get such good pics of fish jumping? Do you take the pics while fighting the fish, or does a buddy take them? Is it just a standard camera? Any special settings?

I assume he's using a high-end DSLR with a fast shutter.
WTL, if you remember the camera I brought to the event...it will do 6 frames per second for about 15 minutes with the memory I have in it, and if it's bright enough outside. Yay for stupidly expensive technology! Fish with me next time, and we'll get a pic of one of your hawgs leaping for joy.

I was wondering the same thing about those jumping photos, what incredible quality and such perfect timing. Nice fish too!

As far as timing goes. I fold the screen out to the side. That way I can watch the fish, and screen at the same time. If you pull the trigger the second the fish breaks water, you should get a good mid jump image. The key to getting clean photos, with a high ISO, is using the largest pixel size image. That way after you crop out unwanted background images, and then you downsize it to 800 x 600, it wont look so grainey. Adjusting the images levels in photoshop helps too. Just to be clear, the above fish were my buddies. I take the pics, my buddy catches the fish. The bass I catch generally look like this (i.e. boring still frames): or this...
