I see you are using the spinner blade harness in front of your bait. How's your success been using that? I've got a few of them in various sizes and have been using them trolling for muskies.

What's your favorite bait to pull behind them?

[Hester]

A couple biggens from last week.

Oops, that didn't work

[TKaai]

I was throwing a Strike King Burner spinnerbait. I've never used a harness setup, but it's an interesting idea, idk if it'd work or not, maybe in front of a swim jig.

Caught on a vintage fiberglass rod with a pistol grip.

If you are fishing in Duluth I doubt it is shad they are eating, the only place with shad that I know of in Minnesota is the Mississippi river from pool 2 and down.

Well, what would they be? There are lots of small baitfish where I'm fishing. I am catching the smallies In almost the exact same spots every time I go and whenever the water is calm I can see baitfish hitting the surface. A few smallies have spit up these little fish when I get them in the kayak.

6lbs 10oz. It had a crappie tail sticking out it's throat.

6lbs 10oz?? dam, that is one hell of a fish Jalberg! Out of curiosity finesse or moving bait?

Out of curiosity finesse or moving bait?

Not finesse and not a moving bait like a spinnerbait. I was pitching a jig to the deepest clumps of milfoil I could see and it hit it on the fall, so I guess it was a moving bait. Moving vertically.

I didn't catch this fish, but in the spirit of sharing fun pics, thought I'd throw this on here. Was up north with a few buddies yesterday and it was pretty slow. We'd caught a few mid 4's but the action was slow and we were sitting on a spot that we hadn't caught anything and we were getting ready to move. Then, it happened. Tick in the line, hook set and I witnessed the largest smallmouth I've ever see brought to the boat. She wasn't fat, just thick. Like she'd swallowed an NFL football. I'm 6'3" and have pretty big hands and I couldn't get my hands around her midsection. Anyway, buddy named her Cheryl and she's still swimming today.

Good Lord! That's the fish of my dreams!

[PurpleCatMan]

Jalberg, the number of 6+ fish you catch is very impressive!

Keep the photo's coming!

Fatty!

[PakAttack86]

No idea what the size is, but hands down the biggest bass I've ever caught. Caught on a small pond in Eagan, under a simple bobber with a crawler. Awesome fighter!

[bassfshin24]

Personal best smallie! 5lbs 15oz and barely hit 20". Thought for sure I got my 6lber! Oh well I guess I'll get her next year but sure am proud of this absolute football.

[bonebaby0]

Now that's a Fatty! Congrats

[RuddyDuck]

Wow, nice Football! I think I see Rawlings on the side of that beast.
