After John texted me the pictures of his fish (which I still think were most likely Lisa's
![]() I started off with a dropshot, and my dad a clown coloredo Rapala Husky Jerk. Nada on either of those. After I fished a jerkbait for a bit, I figured I should try a lipless crank. Now I've never caught a single fish on one, except for one floating rattle trap. I said what the heck, and tied on a Pearl Melon colored XCalibur Xr50. First cast, parallel to the shore, about 12' out, I thought I hung on some leftover weeds. As I was pulling this non moving mass of weeds in, I saw a flash and it started fighting. ![]() So my dad tied on a red Rat-L-Trap, and started casting. He caught one on it. I moved down the shore the opposite direction towards some guy fishing a jerkbait. After a backlash to ruin a reel for day (snapped my FC in the backlash, but that InvisX was over 2 years old, although it still hardly had any memory). So I tied the sample lipless crank onto my glass crankbait rod with a 5.2:1 reel. So naturally, my presentation slowed down a bit. Almost immediately, I hooked into the best fish of the day (sorry, no weights more measurements). Around leaving time, I caught another decent fish for this reservoir (they're all usually pretty similar, and we rarely catch something bigger). So all the fish were caught on a lure that I had no confidence in whatsoever before today. After today, I may pick up a lipless crank more often now. My dad's fish: ![]() My fish (my dad can't work the camera on my phone, so I have to take the pics of mine, lol). First is the bigger one, although it doesn't look like it from the pics: ![]() ![]() I got to break in a rod that I bought over the winter, as well as a new to me reel, both of which I'm quite pleased with. Reviews to come of both later this year! BB
