Well guys, I got on em the last few weeks. I found a couple AMAZING swimbait bites and I worked them hard. I'm not sure how many swimbait fish I have caught in the last 5 trips, but it was way over 50. All on 8-11inch swimbaits and wakebaits. I held off on the the pics because I wanted to wait until the bite was over and not draw any attention to my spots. I had 5 fish limits of 25, 35, 36, 38, and 42lbs10ozs. The last trip was real slow. So here are the pics.
5lb3ozers
5lb4ozers
5lb8ozers
5lb10ozers
6lb0ozs
6lbs4ozs
Caught simulaneously on one bait, 6lbs4ozs, 4lbs4ozs

8lb2ozer
9lb7ozs

What an unreal handful of trips. I gained confidence in new baits, put the custom rod that Alpster made me through its paces, and basically had more fun that I could have ever imagined with big baits. I caught countless 4's and 5's that went un-picced and un weighed. I shook three fish between 5 and 6 off at the boat because there were bass boats in the area and i didnt want to give my spots away. Lost a few fish, missed some bites including 2 that were definitely over 10lbs, one of which may have been really really big. My wrists are shot, my shoulders hurt and I have some of the gnarliest bass palm I have ever seen.
Absolutely INCREDIBLE!
You rotten, no good,
... :
Ummm. . . WHOA! Mad Skillz!
wow
OMFG!
holy freaking crap dude! what an amazing series of trips! i would be on cloud nine if i had a week like that! ;D
(and what ever you do, DONT enter that 10-10 in the state vs state, i like being in second place )
Congratulations 4bizz! I always enjoy reading your posts (especially your "catching reports"). Thanks for sharing your trophy hunting experiences with us.
WOW un freaking beliveable dude.That's the way to get after them
You da man.Thanks for posting up those 5&6lbers,been throwing swimbaits here since last year and havn't really had alot of luck with them.But after seeing those gives me more faith I'm on the right track.And the rod Alpster made you is one sweet stick dude.
AWESOME!
way to kill em 4bizz, sweet pics.
You suck you scum sucking gutter ****.
WTG! Looks like you did great.
I'm going to go throw all my gear away now and switch to pan fish. lol. Great fish man. That really is the stuff dreams are made of.
The dude definatly abides!!!!!!!!! congrats Bizz You done good
Thanks guys! I'm lookin forward to sight fishin season. All of these were casting fish, just waiting for the big girls to move up now! Best pre-spawn bite I have ever been on, thats for sure.
THATS IT!! I'M MOVING TO CALIFORNIA!!
Nice work 4biz! See you in a few weeks, I'm looking for apartments out there right now! ;D

Need a house boy? ;D
am i the only one who thinks this looks like a photoshop?
well i can tell you photoshoped a lil on the background and on urself on sum pics, so did you really catch these?

Are you kidding me?
He's got your # Bizz!! lol
4bizzle is well known for protecting the areas he's finding these fish in by smudging the backgrounds. It's a common practice with most, if not all, of the Cali trophy hunters.
I have been getting these pics as the fish have been caught and although anyone here who knows Bizz has no issue at all, I assure you, they're all his.
Again, another practice employed by many of the Cali hunters is to hold off posting so the "when" is also not associated with the "where". They'll post the batch of pics AFTER the hot bite is through.
They're an odd bunch but a page full of hogs is always a nice read.
way to stick 'em Bizz.
Quotewell i can tell you photoshoped a lil on the background so did you really catch these?
Did he really ask that question or did I finally finish off that 12 pack?
Amazing. Killer job. Can't even begin to imagine what that must be like.

dude jump all over me for asking a question
i was just wondering because i could tell there had been some tweaking of background
i myself am a skilled photoshopper and could make some pics of me "supposably" catching some monsters, i wasent trying to make any one mad i was just wondering and stating a fact >
Mystery solved
Chill out crazybass, I wasn't jumping on you. 4Biz is a credible member and posts tons of pics of good bass he's caught. Most people around here know that he does his homework and puts the time in to catch these fish. I'd be shocked if he photo-shopped any of them.

Low clouds
Inspiring pics man!!! Can't wait to get out and toss these swimbaits around
I'll be the first to tell you, if 4bizz was gonna take his time to photo shop himself holding fish, he wouldn't waste his time photo shopping small fish like those. He'd only be holding 20lbers.
dang them bass must eat them Wheaties every morning. and sip down some PROTEIN SHAKES.
W O W
Great job man!
Wait for me..............I'm packing my things!
Way to go dude. Must of been a great ride while it lasted.
Wait? Now why do I live in Canada? i could only dream of those bass in Canada.
wow! what awesome catches man. congrats big time!!!
WOW fourbizz, those are some great fish. Congrats, and keep it up
Yeah, you definitely suck but I dig the James Hetfield thing you got going on.
;D
J/K dude. You friggin' rock and I would never pee on your valued rug...or your fish. Those are beasts!
We have a unique situation out here. A picture says a ton. If he posted backgrounds with even a peice of a bait showing or the rod he was using there would be 20 other very capable guys who would know where and how he caught those fish. You have to understand these arent 3lbers that are all over the lake. When you get into fish like Bizz did the bite is usualy very specific. So if you share it, its prety much over for you. I am so Cal and he is in Nor cal but Its the same. If you dont protect your bite you loose it. If you post your spots on the net they will be ruined. Most of us learn this the hard way. I have posted some big fish from a lake and the lake gets beat to death for 2-3 weeks straight. I learned my leson. 4Bizz likes to white out the back ground. I preferr to pull up to some thick brush or reeds and show only a very small amout of unrecognizable background. It serves the sam purpose. All of us at one time or another have been called out for doing this but its something you have to do. Again crongrats Jay, I havent put a big bag together in a long time. I get singles. I am jealous!
WTG!!!! 8-) 8-) 8-)
I know you were too quite; had to be up to something
my shoulders hurt and I have some of the gnarliest bass palm I have ever seen
Yea but don't it make you smile from ear to ear
Plain awesome ! Looks like you smoked them ....
That's more bigfish than I will see in one year, and maybe even two.
Congratulations ! 8-)
SHAZAAAAM! Truly awesome 4bizz! Thanks for making me drool!
Wow, all the crazy cloud cover must make those Cali bass grow so big
congrats, they all look awsome! I am sorry I dont know enough of the rules and I was going to ask you where you went but from the post I realize its a custom not to share the info. that's to bad anyway hey so what if i trade you some mmmm swim baits for some locations
Incredible, im gonna have to try out these swimbaits now. Awesome job man awesome job. If i could catch one of those monsters this year i would be happy.

Hum Little Napoleon .... sounds like a pleonasm ;D !
By the way.... He was called Napol éon Bonaparte in France (which he chose)... his birth-name being Napoleone di Buonaparte. Just thought I would share that.....
And again congrats on all those beautiful bass, and I totally understand why you protect your spots...
The fish in that post probably outnumbers the amount of fish I have ever caught of that size. Congratu-freakin-lations!!! I'd be soooo stoked if I were you.
My PB for this whole entire weekend was smaller than your swimbait:(
good job there fourbizz
Nice streak huh bud Way to get your DD!!!!!
that is indeed unbelievable, nice freaking job man, wish you nothing more but good luck (but it doesnt seem like you need it)!
i am speechless :o
congrats
Awesome fish man!!! I got my first swimbait bite Friday and now I know how addictive it is!!!! By the way it wasn't 10lbs but 7lbs is a good start! Once again though, awesome fish!!
Awesome job!
Unreal!
I promise, I don't want to know where that is.
Thats freakin rediculous
8-) That's how you get 'em man!! Sick.
Dude! Sick! Way to go....would be awesome to catch just one of those in New England!
I can't believe someone would even suggest that the photos were doctored....wth??? :-?
Way to go bizz. Just curious though. You and a few others on here are for sure the swim bait gurus. And I think you all live in Cali. Is there a chance you can explain your technique on using the swim baits and type of cover, structure, depth, etc. you would most likely fish the baits? I understand if you don't want to, but great if you you do. I want to start fishing those kind of baits here in S. Florida. Thanks.
Dude, just tell me when to come out next year and I will be on a plane!
WOW! You are incredible dude! (sorry if I spelled that wrong) You should post those on the resume place. You would almost get a sponcor for sure! I havent seen pics like that from the pros. And that was all in one week???
Great fish and nice pics. Congrats! ;D
That is a UNREAL set of pics. Man, I'll fish with you anytime.
sweeeeeeeeetttttttt fish bizz
jezzzz u really killed them...2 fish on one bait u hardly ever see that
WOW! Thanks all! That bite sure was fun while it lasted!
Moving on to new water startin tomorrow!
:'(
'Fangtastic' CATCHIN' young man!!! What a great bunch of sacks!
Thanks for keeping such good records and making the pics FB. I know it's tough to stop and take a pic when they are biting like they were for you.
Dan
That's truly unbelievable, congrats! 8-)
I'm not worthy! That double is just crazy!
You da man, 4Bizz! I love how you make everybody *** you! ;D
CJ
WOW! That is just incredible! You would have easily broken the century mark had these fish been caught during a tournament.
ive officially declared all forms of bass fishing in california cheating ;D great fish, i just want one 10lber is that too much to ask????
Jay, you are the man.
At this point I'm looking for that 13+ to fall any time soon. Let's see it happen.
Yea, the fish were OK, but that Monster Mag rod is extreme. ;D I am canceling my trip to El Salto and coming to fish with you instead. You are incredible Jay. I only asked for one picture of a monster bass with the rod, but no, you had to catch a dozen. You are the MAN!
Thanks for the pics!
Ronnie
Your da man! Those are some real monsters. U N B E L I E V A B L E ! ! !
good job
Did you release them all? Mad skills man turnly unbelievable!!! Are you useing those 40$ swim baits that they just came out with? It look like those.
Talk about one heck of a time fishin
You Da MAn fourbizz

I guess Cali has the south beat on the big fish...
Sorry, I'm so late to congratulate you, fourbizz. That's some awesome fishing, Dude. And that 42 lb plus sack has me completely awestruck. You definitely have perfected your skills, my man.
Yea me too, that is amazing!!!! Way to go!!!!
