I think the weather's still funky. Have decided the WP is sort of like throwing big swimbaits: it's a commitment but can pay off.
Still can't wait to see a redfish or speck eat one. Y'all Yankees set the hook in me about this one and thought our Speck's would be clueless about this bait, so I bought the stump. If pressure washing slows down soon, I will hopefully give you a report from the Mobile River. I will gaur-an-dam-tee I will chase a jack down if one decides to eat it.

If I ever get down that way again to fish, I hope to have all three sizes to see which won works best. I suspect they all will, although I'd probably throw the 90 and 130 for reds and trouties.
A jack definitely would need an ass-kicking if it grabbed the WP.

Went with the 90. My favorite topwater is bone/chrome, but just didn't care for the bone wp.
I will buy the 130 next trip.
Come on down after May Clem and you can throw one into your arm falls off. The bone looked too dingy for me so i got one in powder
We will burn that bridge when we get there

I thought about the bone color but figured I'd end up taking some sandpaper to it to rough it up, so I opted for the clearer colors.

I've got a little wildcat tourney in the morning, I'm going to throw a 90 & 130 the whole time...swing for the fence.

Wow, it warped the bait? You should contact River2Sea to let them know about that. Sounds like a bad bait. https://www.river2seausa.com/contact-usThat strike, though. Yeah. Like a hand grenade going off. Love it.

Like a hand grenade going off. Love it. That's the best I can figure...no visible damage or bending, but instead of running straight it scoots back and forth and rolls over constantly, and it was running fine before the big fish.

I stand corrected. It was bothering me so I went out to the garage and took a closer look with light and magnifying glass. It was just a build up of seaweed/scum which was making the back end not want to turn. Cleaned it out and it was spinning freely so I'm guessing it'll run right now.

Here's the one from Saturday: Dang good one right there Thanks. Most of the fish in my neighborhood ponds are much smaller, so when that one hit and I set the hook I just about pissed myself.

Fine bass, mcninja! I've yet to get a big strike on the 130 in our H'Cove lakes. I think the bass are spawning, and I saw shad spawning yesterday, and it's all still screwy. Won't be long until the bluegills are bedding and then things get hairy.
