Default Another SW Smallie

Hey all, got to go out after work from 5:30 til about 6:30 (dark), I
landed 11 fish, all of them on a Japanese Rattling bait, except for one.
As the bite wore down, I picked up my white 3/8 Ounce SW Twin spin (do
you guys have a name for it yet?) and took a few shots in the area I
was fishing. On my second cast I hooked into a solid fish, when I
landed and measured it, it measured 18.5", Very nice stocky smallmouth.
On my very first cast in this area I also caught an 18" fish. Of the
11 fish I landed 6 of them reached at least the 14" mark.

I had passed through the area where I caught the 18.5" fish 3 different
times with 2 different brand and color rattling baits (the other was a
firetiger Bill Lewis Rattl Trap), On my 4th time through I picked up the
spinner bait , and the rest is history. I am not saying I wouldn't have
caught him on a swim jig or jerkbait, but I have the confidence in the
spinner bait so I grabbed for it.

Chris
