White treble hook?

You mean, the Mike Long lure of choice?

ok, so lets go the other way...

caught with a 5" Senko wacky rig...after it hit it and I hooked it, I thought, "that is the skinniest bass I have ever seen..."

Caught this in my man-cave..late 70s originally...10.1

This 26lb bass I caught years ago at Lake Poway on a senko and never even jumped once.
Pretty strange for a bass.

No pic…but in the same vein as biggest bycatch…was tossing a rattletrap into bass crowding shad up against a point at the entrance to Bernardo Bay on Lake Hodges. It was a hot spot that year and always started off our mornings with quality bass. A cast resulted in a drag pulling extended fight that lasted a few minutes before we even laid eyes on a monster…carp. WTF?!

Weird...I just caught one of those bass at guajome the other day...not quite 26 lbs...

Find a sponsor that makes glide baits, then post it and say you caught it on a glide bait.
Make sure you say "This lure catches them when nothing else will!"

Love to see those big bass! Even better to catch one!

Wow! Not only have you done a truly remarkable job with all of your hard work and efforts efforts trying to open the eyes with the City or County about situations happening at Loveland, Sweetwater and other waterways, but you also have a great business mind about the marketing a glide bait. Yep, the only glide bait that catches large bass...ha ha Heck, I wonder how many swimbaits were sold over the years with guys claiming they caught huge bass on a certain brand of glide bait or swimbait(when actually they probably caught them on live bait...bluegill and trout come to mind). Hope all is well and thanks for all you do and tight lines always.

That is funny………. I usually call it a “d***
carp!” when I am in a good mood and lots of other words when I am cranky that I cannot say on this site.

Pretty funny, but no. I caught that at Lake Miramar in 1998 on a live waterdog. 19lbs 4oz. One of my favorite fishing memories of all time. And it jumped 3 times!

That’s awesome. That pic had the same patina as that one that long didn’t catch but posed with for the lake record.

I miss the water dog days.

I only got a couple of polaroids of it and then released it. Ed Ziralski (sp?) from the Union Tribune called me a couple days later really upset that I hadn't called him to let him know and so he could take photos. Pretty funny. I did not realize I was supposed to call the press.
