Catching GIANT Bass On A BIG $500 Trout Swimbait!

Fishing big swimbaits can be a major grind but some days, you have things dialed and being able to catch two big bass in one day is a blessing. Fishing a Hinkle trout swimbait is one of my favorite ways to catch them when they setup correctly on certain cover and structure.

I've never caught a 9lber. Buying my $500 lure now.

[@hanswurscht327]

Better get into the occult by fishing without license.

[@Daiwa_Is_King]

Expensive baits have nothing to do with catching lunkers. It’s being in the right place at the right time. Skill is also another factor when it comes to catching fish. I’ve caught plenty of trophies on cheap ass baits sometimes luck is heavily involved as well.

You're asking for a heartbreak flipping those! Not only losing your fish, but your Hinkle. I lost my Hinkle Shad and literally cried!

[@AM-we6en]

Bro where do I start.
First I didn’t see any livescope just intuition.
Then No net boat flipping 7 & 9’s. Mad props. And the no f**ks given to possibly loosing a $500 bait, impressive. This is a great video in the new era of bass fishing.
Can you remind me of the knot used?

[@bighashgang1990]

San Diego jam knot is the tits I toss all my swims on the SD jam

[@crazybassfisher]

I run a double uni, thanks for watching!

[@maxcole3930]

I will & have been. End of last year I had an exceptional string of big ones, bunch of 4&5's, multiple 6 & 7's, an 8.05 - 8.6 - 9.3 & my current PB an 11.4 Then I lost 2 monsters i got a good look at in 8-10 lb range. Sense then I've been getting my ass kicked hard, really hard! It's all good, it will turn back around & make it all worth it. The grind is part of the journey & we can't always have good days catching big girls. We wouldn't know how to appreciate the good days without the bad ones to compare them to. Even a bad day of fishing is still a good day on the water in the kayak for me. Good luck on the water!!!

All the best to you for taking some care with bass of that size... it's a delight to see fishermen who care about the resource that much... Kudos to you and I hope you get two double digits down the road soon because of your high standards.

I’m from Montana but have spent a lot of time on the lakes you fish. I have also fished all the ponds in that area. So I love it when I see you on the lakes I am familiar with. My best down there was 10.9. Saw it chase my swimbait and I followed up with a 5 inch senko. Caught a 7.4 in the no motor area not far from the bridge on another lake.

[@crazybassfisher]

Thanks for watching! These lakes are special for sure

[@brkyq]

That’s part of the reason I don’t advertise their locations. Going to be heading that way in about 2 weeks.

Picked up a mega bass leviathan rod for big swim baits this year alittle nervous going straight flouro tho because I’m up in Canada with a bunch of musky and pike. Usually I use 80 lbs braid to 80 pound leader for my pike musky setup what would you recommend for bass? Also taking any suggestions for lures for the new rod! Been looking at the tiny klash

He needs a lip grip, I never liked going in the Gill with the brecknell. They don't all play dead and make weighing easy.
