A couple of months ago, I bought the last one in the store for a guy who fishes tournaments in Alabama and he caught a 10.2 lb. largemouth when it first hit the water. Unbelievable! That's not a fish, it's a hawg. He's won two tournaments using that same lure and has challenged me for a spring competition on the Tombigbee River. He's on, Big Tom is my favorite playground. Wake-Up is a wake lure and has been so successful the "baby" part was added by the fishermen.
Dave may move this to the fishing board but I was trying to see if anyone would admit to fishing with the "Wake-Up Baby."
Maybe thinking about this will help relieve some of the guy's withdrawal symptoms while waiting for the bowl games. lol
