Many
more pictures and reports
of catches of Bass on the
Big Baits have appeared,
so the logical thing to
do was to devote a
separate page to these
catches!
Chris
Nietzl with a
5-pounder on the Castaic
Soft Bait Trout.
This photo also
demonstrates the ideal
tackle set-up to handle
the big baits: a sturdy
rod (heavier than a
flipping stick) and a Shimano
Calcutta 400.
Just
so you guys don't get the
idea that Rob always
fishes with a 12" MS
Slammer, here he
is this time displaying
the 9" model MS
Slammer hanging
from the jaw of a
15lb12oz brute Bass! Is
there any wonder why the
9" MS
Slammer is Rob's
favourite big Bass lure?
Now
you know where the name
"Bigmouth"
comes from! Another view
of Rob's
15lb12oz Bass.
Ryan
"Chabot
Pro" Thoni
with an
8.2-pounder on the ever
popular 9" Castaic
Soft Bait Trout.
Dale
Ball with a
9lber on the 9" MS
Slammer.
The
man himself, Mike
Shaw, creator
and manufacturer of the MS
Slammer, with a
6.1lber on the 9" MS
Slammer. Also
note the tackle set-up
needed to handle these
big lures.
Erik
"Carrot
Top"
Patzner with a
17.3lb San Pablo
Reservoir beauty caught
on 18 February 2002 on a
9" MS
Slammer worked
just under the surface in
4 - 6ft of water.
Another
view of Erik's great
catch showing the MS
Slammer lure a
little better. What an
inspiration!
This
is "Robbor"
with a 12lb7oz Bass taken
in March/April 2002 on
the new big 12" Castaic
Soft Bait Trout
rigged with a stinger
hook! OK this was in
California, but does
anyone need more
convincing that those big
lures really do work?
"Fish
Chris"
Wolfgram who
probably has caught (and
released!) more Bass over
10lb than any Basser with
another beauty of 13.4lb
taken in mid April 2002
at Rancho Seco,
California, on the now
famous Castaic Soft
Bait Trout, clearly seen
hanging from the Bass'
jaw. Thanks for the
inspiration, Buddy!
Another
view of the the current
Lake Perris, California
(USA) record 18lb Bass
shown on the home page of
this site. This monster
was caught by Will
Steele on 28
December 2001 on the
latest of the "mega
lures", the Rago
Generic
Trout. What
an amazing fish!
If
Bassers in South Africa
commit themselves to
stocking more Florida
strain Bass in our waters
on a regular and
sustained basis, we could
expect the same type of
catches in years to come.

Greg
Vella displays a
massive 12.7lb Lake
Perris, California, Bass taken
on the Rago Generic
Trout in Midnight
Magic colour (solid
black with red eye).
And
here's Jerry Rago of
Independence, California, the inventor and
manufacturer of the
magnificent Rago Generic
Trout "mega
lure" or "big
bait" with a
13.5lber (centre). Whoa!
What about the 3 arms?
That's Mike Long obscured
from view with a nice
brace of Bass (11lb and
10lb)! The venue? Lake
Murray, San Diego,
California.
