  • I go out to my local lake in search of giant fish throwing only big swimbaits. Ended up having some success throwing the holy grail of all swimbaits which is the Deps 250 and caught my personal best !

  • @JD-ds1cn
    @JD-ds1cn 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Nice glide bait striper!😄Doesn't hurt to keep those stripers. 😎 They taste good too. The lake is infested with stripers. They accidentally got into the lake in the late 70's and slowly the population has very much affected the overall balance of the fishery. Used to be one of best largemouth bass fisheries in the USA thru the early 1980's to late 1990's. Now it's probably not even at the top 500.

      @TheFishCatcher  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Ideally 20lb test would be good but if it's a lake with stripers then 25-30 lbs is good. I've recently been using izorline copoly XXX and it's been great

    Every time I come to a spot, before I make my first cast I look around me, and before I cast I already decided where I am gonna land the fish if i hook one. U wanna do that before u cast, otherwise what happened on your first fish will happen and you're panicking and looking around u to see how you're gonna land it and that gives it time to pop off like it did. Plus if u have 25 or 30 lb test and it's just like a 5 lber u can just flip that thing outta the water and onto land. Just my 2 cents.
