Big Bass on a swimbait

[smljaw]

Went LM fishing 2 days ago at a small, semi private lake in the area. I have caught bass in this lake up to 8 pounds and several in the 4-6 range. Well, after catching a bunch of fish and nothing over 2 pounds, I diecided to upsize my bait selection. With the lack of rain we have had, I decided to chunk a 5" Big Hammer swimbait with a 1 oz. head. I had purchsed these baits for my Mexico trip last June but never used them.

After rigging it up, and getting laughed at by my fishing buddy, I made cast #1. About 7 cranks later I jacked a good one. I swing a 2.12 into the boat. About 30 minutes later I land a 12 incher. About 2 hours later the big hit came. Caught the kicker of the day, a 5.13.

Just like the magazines say, if you fish a lake that holds big fish, throw the swimbait. I feel that having fairly clear water helps as well... I have only caught a few fish with the swimbait but my confidence is growing! That Big Hammer rig looks really good coming through the water. I think I purchased them at www.landbigfish.com...

Good luck out there...

Cool, I've never thrown one for long due to no confidence in them. All that being said I am hearing and reading more about them all the time. I think I need to give them some more time.

I really like the Big Hammer I was throwing. All sizes and colors can be purchased at www.landbigfish.com. I think some real pigs can be caught on these baits at Cedar Creek or any other lake that is fairly clear and holds big bass. After my results Wednesday, I plan to stock up a little bit more with a variety of swimbaits in 4" & 5". The 3 bass I caught really slammed it!
