I headed out this morning on my pond and I was using topwaters. I decided to try out my baitcaster as I was using only my spinners. So I cast out a yum green watermelon 5" crawfish texas rigged. By the way the line is 12 pd spiderwire mono. Im on my kayak fishing the flooded treeline when BAM I get a huge hit and my 7' very stiff baitcaster bends like its one of those dora fishing poles. Then I go and start to reel it in and the fish goes directly under the front of the kayak and unhooks itself in the process. I see it swimming to the right of me and I can say without any exxageration this was an 8+ lb bass. It was an absolute monster. Im really pissed at myself for not being able to catch this absolute lunker of a bass. But ill hopefully get another shot and ill be heading out again in a couple minutes
Plastics are the way to go I have lost a few 8 pound bass and it sucks but you will get them don't worry
