    Default Big Bait...Big Fish


    Hey ya'll. I think this is so cool and wanted to share it. A good friend of mine went to Kaw a couple days ago and look what floated up right in front of him. He said the big fish was about a pound and a quarter, and the small fish was seven inches! Don't be afraid to use a bigger bait!

    I've seen the same thing here only Crappie tried to eat Yellow Bass and Bream. I'm a believer in big baits in spring even more so. That's when I use 2.5'' Southern Pro Walleye Tubes in glow colors on a 1/4 oz jig head. The fish are aggressive and the large bait in bright colors works great in dingy water we tend to have with all the rains.

    Here is a Slab that ate a smaller Crappie. I have a photo somewhere of a Bream stuck in a Crappie's mouth. The Shad here tend to run large and Crappie eat them regularly up to 4''. I'm sold on big baits.

    About 4''+ Crappie out of a Slabs stomach.

    About the only time I downsize to smaller baits is in the winter. I like big baits and when I say that 3" and up. Bigger profile, displaces more water, more visible in dirty water, and give me confidence. Isn't confidence what it's all about. Monday I was catching 3" to 5" crappie on 3" baits with a 3/16-1/0 hook jig head and they would inhale it. It's all about the thump and how you handle it.......Ranger
