Here's your graph as requested! (Not a student, but slow enough at work today that I could make it happen!)

 

fish.jpg

 

I started out with topwater as a category, then got a lot more towards the end!  If I would have known how high the count would be, I would have broken them down further.  I also put flukes and skinny dippers together as a similar bait.

 

For some reason you can't zoom in...here's the photobucket link!  http://i120.photobucket.com/albums/o192/zachvu/fish.jpg~original

That is awesome!


fishing user avatarNDH Fishing reply : 

On a frog called a Ribbit. It sinks slowly and you can bump the stump with it, witch works, but if you reel slowly to keep it at the top and twitch it hear and there, the bass cant keep off of it. I started fishing a new spot and caught my old PB, went back to the spot 2 days later and caught my currant PB. From then on its been my go to lure. 


fishing user avatarTHE_Vue's reply :

fishing user avatarDogBone_384 reply : 

My PB came around dusk @ Blue Hills Reservoir in the fall of 2012. I used a T-rigged zoom U-tale in gourd green, which is still my best performing worm.

BTW - I hope to post another PB by the end of the season.


fishing user avatarViolinguy reply : 

Mine was a 7.6 pounder on a 3" pumpkinseed tube bait lol.  I borrowed a friend's waders and waded about 10 feet from shore so I could get the bait to the drop-off and...  It didn't hit the bait hard, but felt more like I got hung up in weeds.  After pulling, I felt the fish on and started getting it in.  When it broke water right in front of me, I almost wet myself.  This was before cell phone cameras (before cell phones actually) so after I released it, I had a hard time convincing my college fishing buddies that it ever happened.  :cry3:

This thread has got the Bait Monkey knockin at my window! Good thing my wallet is locked up in my safe ;D


fishing user avatarCapt.Bob reply : 

Largemouth on a Mep's Spinner while on a small private lake Crappie fishing, 6lbs 8oz. My best Smallmouth came on a perch rig  w/ 2 standoff's and baited with dead minnows cut in half, it weight 7lbs. 6oz. while fishing on Lake Erie. The cool thing about why I was Perch fishing where I caught this smallmouth, was that I found these huge Perch after catching a few while Smalmouth fishing. It was one of my favorite Smallmouth reefs and on a couple occasions we would catch Perch over 14" while fishing tubes , so I tried it with Perch rig's and it ended up being my very best Jumbo Perch spot on Lake Erie.
