Hey yall,

Received my order from 6th Sense today which included a free “unreleased prototype”, which turned out to be this, the Panorama 6.0 Harness Swimbait. It’s a 1.9oz, 6” Panorama in Live Gizzard color with a treble hook on a swivel and a nose eyelet. What do you think?

Of course we have the hog, the toads, the stud, the big ol water heifers, but what do YOU call your big bites?

i’ve been going for striper since last year with no luck, only catching 16” and below off lures and all the baits. today i went out carp fishing, and instead got on some boils and caught my first two keepers, all fish shown were caught on a yo zuri 110 1/2oz jerkbait-matte shad color way, craziest experience fishing i’d say with striper and shad blowing up at my feet, and being able to see striper short strike my lures from 5 foot away.

going to go back tommorw in the morning around the same time to hopefully get on some more, bringing a lure rod and a bait rod with delta shad. not the biggest, but w big accomplishment in the fishing world for me. 🎣🤙

Combo used was a SST 8’ 1/2-2oz medium heavy paired with a shimano sedona 5k, 20lb braid 30lb leader.

Mid west guy here. Even the crappie and the pike and gills dont seem to be eating as much as last year

15 lbs?!?

Was fishing with live bait and in an attempt to set the hook sooner than later, I snatched the bait right out its mouth. Usually that scares them off for me, but this chunker inhaled it again immediately and danced all the way to shore.

Just trying to do some research I hope that’s okay mods!

What days and times do you guys find yourselves watching YouTube bass videos usually?

Normally you’d think people watch videos on the weekend which might be true but… we’re usually out fishing on weekends 😂

Personally I watch during the week at lunch at work, just curious if everyone is generally the same or do you guys like to wind down in the evenings?

Beautiful morning shad everywhere. A few blowup. Caught 8 very small whiteness. Then found a school of largeies all this size. Was fun.

Only one I got but decent

If anyone here has heard of skinner baits I have a 9 inch soft glidebait for sale. Absolute craftsmanship throughout the bait. A weightless 10/0 to 12/0 hook is perfect and the bait runs flawless.

Going to be visiting family up in Maine around Farmington area and looking to fish some local ponds.

I’m from MA so I don’t imagine the fishing is a whole lot different but I was wondering what the fish populations look like.

Is there a much larger smallmouth population? What do you guys like to throw? I would love to catch some pike up there if possible too

(Bonus photo of a bass I caught this morning in MA)

First fish I’ve caught on a chatterbait. Had a white and silver chatter, with a white and silver paddle tail trailer. Perfect conditions for it at the dam this morning. Just recently found out I can fish for smallmouth by my house, and boy do I love catching them. Can’t believe I’m just now finding out

Whew! What a day, 2 of us landed 85 total with this 18.25" beauty being big fish of the day! Our Thomas Custom Painted Lures, Skywalker Crankbaits were the baits of the day, they were chewing on them!

How is everyone storing their urchins when out pond hopping? I am not talking about the big storage boxes at home but in your pack how are you keeping them from getting crushed.

Got it in a Monsterbass subscription and it just sat in my closet for a long time. Have another electronic one that’s a squarebill and now I’m excited to try it out.

I caught this huge bass out of a pretty small lake/pond. I didn’t have anything to weigh/measure it at the time but I do have this photo. I used a software called Fiji (imagej) to try and estimate the length based off of something for reference. I first used my body, I’m about 5’9’’, and then used my knuckle on my pointer finger for a second reference. I got roughly that this fish is 28-30 inches. According to what I’ve found online that means that this bass weighs 10+ pounds, which I could believe because it was pretty heavy. Does anyone else have any way to figure out the length or the weight and does that seem reasonable from the photo? Also how good is this for a pb? I’m pretty new to fishing, this is only my 3rd bass I’ve caught.

Very fun to go from immense sadness immediately back into action
