Dude, which of those baits caught your 4.78?  Which of those locations did that catch occur in?

Thanks but I'm hoping for a serious Upgrade this season or as soon as possible.

 

As far a swim bait bass go, I'll admit - that's a dink.

I have caught stripers and saltwater fish larger than 10lbs on swimbaits. That is what I meant.

fishing user avatarprimetime reply : 

Biggest Bass on a "Swimbait" was 3 years ago on a 5" Megabait CharlieSoft suspending 1-2' diver in a black with translucent color and I caught the fish in a Public Lake that gets a ton of pressure and I saw the grass move and it was early spring, so I chucked it in the opening, gave it the twitch twitch pause....nothing..made 2 more casts and on the last one I let the ripples dissipate and as soon as I started to jerk the bait a few inches down, the water erupted and I knew I had a monster when I saw the Tunnel and suction taking it down, glad I upgraded to a larger hook....

 

I never weighed the fish as she was a female and it was early February so she was shallow in 4-6' and probably weighed a good 7lbs maybe bigger, I never felt the need to pull her out of the water to measure as I knew she was not larger than 7.5 or 8, so wanted to make a quick release...

 

I am amazed the amount of small fish I catch on the big River 2 Sea S glide 120 still waiting for a beast.

Would love to see some pics of these too magnificent fish guys!  Eye candy always keeps the drive going.  My goal is to join the "teener" club.  Seems you two are already there!
