Thought no one would ever ask.

#12 Allieworm on a dropper underneath a bass size popper - was fishing for bream.

He hit just as soon as it entered the water. Thought it was a catfish at first. Sometimes catch them eating the bream eggs off the bream beds. Guess this one was eating the bream. That particular bream bed was huge but we only caught 2-3 bream off it. Figure that big bass chased all the bream back to deep water.

Sharon Harris - Probably mutated from all that exposure to nuclear waste. That's probably why I am so ugly too, as it is my favorite crappie, bream and bass lake. We caught about 30 keeper crappie and 75 keeper bream yesterday (Crappie on curly tail jig and at least half the bream on my AW dropper set up). We put the bass back in to grow a little more - Quit at noon. Got so hot that if we had not placed the fish on ice they would have fried or stewed in their own juice.

Yes - why did you even have to ask? ???

Actually I have tied some on a long shanked streamer style hook size 4 - They proved effective that way on steelhead and kings in upstate New York last fall. Think of it as a reverse egg sucking leech.

STU

No scale so we didn't weigh it. Measured it on one of those tape on rulers on side of boat = 22 1/2 inches. Big mouth, you could place your fist in it. (My guess is about 5-6 pounds maybe a little more)
