a swim bait fish

zooker · 04-30-10, 02:58 PM

i have used small swimbaits before. but never an 8" bbz1 slow sinker.. man that is a big hunkin bait, i am chunking it on a 7'6'' xheavy jig rod.

just playing around with it..the lake i was fishing has several large culverts. with flow coming into the lake. yep i know this lake has some toads in it.i eased up to afore mentioned culverts after a dude flogged it with a jig. chunked it in the culvert and as it cleared the culvert a toad knocked it out of the water and took a another shot at it..but no hook up..

.. i was suprised the fish was able to knock it about like a popper. the dam thing weighs like 4.5 oz..

but after several more atemps to perswade the toad to take another shot. inculding a jerkbait style retrive nothing..
as i come off a point a mile away i heaved the bait again and actually caught a fish on it..

ok so he aint massive 2-2.5 pounds but he DID grab the tail hook on that bait....

SHOW OFF!! HHAHAHAHA! Nice zookie, hows the finger man?

I guess smaller fish do hit those huge 8" swimbaits. You better start chuckin a 12 inch, 16oz bait.

Nice fish man! I've also been surprised how many small fish will hit my 8" TT. The don't call them BIG mouth bass for nuthin!

Zooker, I am damn proud of you. I am sure that it was very tempting to try and add a lip to it. Don't get too crazy on the hooksets, it isn't a ladder you are trying to land.

Keep on chucking it and sooner or later you'll hook that snag that moves and then jumps, just always remember to have your camera with you. Have fun with big baits as they will catch big fish.
