Check this out. This smallie chased the lure to the surface on the other side of the boat. I was messing with it and it chased it all the way around the boat. It was like doing figure 8's with pike/musky except it was a smallmouth. Then, I held the lure just above the water’s surface. Smallmouth bass came out of the water to check out/get this bait. This was practice for a tournament so I was ok with not catching that day. I did go back and caught two in this area.

Question.
I have been using the lunkerhunt 1/2oz spinnerbait for about four weeks now. I've noticed that if I put a trailer on it the bait Swims sideways regardless of how fast I retrieve the bait. Is this a design issue or am I doing something wrong?
P.s. it works fine on war eagle and other spinnerbaits i have.

So I’ve been in Georgia for three years next month. I’ve been fishing from a kayak for a year and a half now and a few weeks ago was my first time ever on the Flint River. I finally got my first Shoal bass.

I have noticed that quite a few successful tournament anglers have stories about fishing local tournaments early in their journey to the higher levels of tournaments. I never fished a tournament on any level until this year. I did do a lot of fishing with various family and friends growing up, but honestly a small percentage of which was bass fishing.
So, my question is this.
Am I at a disadvantage in my pursuit to be competitive at the highest levels of bass fishing? At my age I feel like I don't have the time to slowly build the expertise.

Hey Brian, recently fished Rodman Reservoir during its draw down and got skunked! Any pointers on fishing fisheries during major changes like water level?

Anyone recognize this little guy?
I found it on a boat dock with no hooks on it. I’ve been debating on whether to freshen up the paint and use it or leave as is if there’s any nostalgic value.

Old timers are telling me about using “Silver Buddies” in deep water. Anyone got any experience?

Any one else ever caught a bass with out hooking it?! (This 14 incher may not seem impressive, but it rounded out our 5 fish limit, which had us in the top 5 after day 1 out of 262 boats in a college tournament this past weekend on lake Dardanelle) Hard to beat getting lucky sometimes!
