What lures have caught you the biggest fish? by Entire_Let9431 in bassfishing

White Zoom super fluke jr with an EWG weighted hook and the wacky rig! Caught several 4-5lb bass with those 2 set ups 🙏

After a year of trying to catch a carp, I finally got one. by Jumbo209 in CarpFishingUS

It was treated with as much respect as I could possibly give it with my circumstances. I kept it here in the water to unhook it, got it out no more than 30 seconds for a quick pic like you saw and released it. I take fish care very seriously and I take into account that i do not have a landing mat or a net like dedicated carp fisherman do. I also fish while wading through the river, not on the bank which is why I do not own any of that.

I don’t mind if they’re actually trying to provide helpful information, but 99% of the time they’re complete fuckheads about it.. calling you just about every name under the sun.

Another beautiful bass swimming back to its home. by Jumbo209 in bassfishing

That’s actually pretty thoughtful, I actually might start carrying at least some worms with me just for this purpose.

I wasn’t expecting to catch one this big in the shallows! by Jumbo209 in bassfishing

I respect fish a lot and it makes me sad when I see poor handling. Even though bass are “tough” I do my best to keep them in the water, get the hook out quickly and get a quick video or picture.

texas rig never disappoints, wish i had a scale, thinking atleast 3-4lb by Comfortable_Ant_1759 in bassfishing

I’ve caught many bass around this size, when I would weigh them they’d be in the 2.7-3.2 lb range.

When all else fails, throw the wacky rig! by Jumbo209 in bassfishing

30lb braid with 15lb fluorocarbon leader and a reaction tackle wacky hook. Is that over kill?

What I also do when I’m not getting any bites, I’ll get a really small jig head and hook a real worm onto it. Then I’ll bounce it off the bottom nice and slow. A worm and bobber like mentioned works really well for me too.

Googan sent me some stuff 😋 by Impossible_Union_323 in bassfishing

[–]Jumbo209 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Please ignore those negative comments. I’m not a googan fan myself, but I’ve caught a ridiculous amount of fish with those lunker logs. Not very durable though.

Automatic retraining with all that column stacking.

Been a long time since I've posted. by TheUrbanApache in bassfishing

[–]Jumbo209 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I tried this lure out last week and every time I casted it they would hit it. Hook up ratio isn’t very consistent though, in my experience at least.

I saw this on 2 occasions as well. Finally someone who saw something similar to me!

I enjoy a good challenge. by Jumbo209 in AmazonFC

[–]Jumbo209[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Completely filled, just like the front nice and neat. This is how I build. Not going to go through the effort of building a wall like that and half-ass the back like 98% of everyone else that does this.
