What an awesome outing Bryan!!! Those pumpkinseeds were beautiful looking n good sized. I have two 60’s I was saving for a creek near me. Might have to try them out on the Delaware river!! Great share brother👍

I hope you slay them! The Delaware might move too fast for them but it’s worth a shot. I think hookup ratio will be better on small creeks with Smallies. I probably won’t use it again until then. Or it might be a good first lure for my kid to throw. Would be fun to see for sure.

Great tip on the importance of changing up that cadence when retrieving those top waters in. That thing was a bass magnet out there! I had the same thing when they were almost to the boat and would hit it just before ending the retrieve. Even with that larger Savage Gear, it was all smaller ones for me hitting that tail treble. You definitely got some upgrades as you went along! I gotta be honest, the older I get the more I dislike treble hooks lol! It’s awesome how aggressive they’ve been in following the baits and giving multiple strikes. Good number of fish, didn’t get yourself hooked - I’d say that was a successful outing. Beautiful pumpkin seeds, outstanding on top water too! Another great episode Bryan!👏

Thanks! I’ve easily doubled my strikes, maybe tripled, by adding pauses and pops to the Whopper Plopper. Forgot to say it out loud so I made sure to add it in the fine print there. I also hate treble hooks but I especially hate those small ones. I just can’t get a good grip on them to pull them out.

Absolutely good advice to change up the cadence now and then. Of course it also works with other baits too (jerk bait etc.) That 1st male Pumpkinseed was beautiful! Over the years I've had a few in my aquariums. They're more ornery than one would think.

Thanks, John! I feel the bigger ones definitely swim better and that the 60 has it’s time and place, I just can’t justify tossing it over the bigger ones most of the times. I’ll definitely be creek fishing with it one day. That’s where they seem to shine the most.

What an awesome session with that new lure. Loved that you caught different types too. Just a question, went out myself this week with a topwater lure for an hour, didn't even get a strike, but what do you mean by changing the way you retrieve a lure, is it just the speed you reel it in? Thanks and great job Bryan!!!
@TheMichiganFisherman

Yes. Sometimes I do a straight retrieve. Sometimes I add pauses. Sometimes I’ll pop the lure to have it make a louder gurgle and splash. Usually I get WAY more strikes when I’m adding pauses and pops.
