San Diego & SoCal Fishing Forums

Just checking in once again.... I have been going down the big swimbait rabbit hole as of recently..... alot more boring nothing happens kind of days. However, with dedication and the willingness to learn. I found some success, some 5lbers, a 7lber, and a New Years Day 13lber. She was weighed on the water so the scale kept bouncing around 13- 13.40 lbs. I'm just calling it a 13lber. Hope this post finds everyone well and everyone is out fishing! Just sharing some fish.

Man, that fish is hooked by the skin of my teeth!

Good job landing that toad.

Epic! Congrats!

Bro, GIANT! I’ve only heard great things about the mag. Seems like you’d say the same!

Doesn't look like a big swimbait next to the bass, just a snack. Very nice.

Great job on the teener! Happy new year!

Awesome hog! Congratulations!

Swimbaits and huge bass....Great job out there!
Thanks for sharing and tight lines always

Cool

I need one of those, but that requires getting a line wet... Hahaha.
Nice fish!

Yes sir! The hudds have a time and place as well. However in the clean and clearer water scenerios the Hawg Hunter swims and looks far more natural without all the mods. The reason why Butch Brown does all those mods to the hudds really make a differance on getting more bites in my opinion. My confidence to get bites is on the hawg hunter, my confidence to land big ones would be more on the huddleston. The harness in a hawg hunter makes it easier for big ones to spit the hooks vs the more collapsable body on a hudd.
