5 DD's in 7 days!
God lined up the stars again for my first trip of 2025!
He gave me the opportunity to cross the path with five DD bass in 7 days!!! My best 5 for the trip went 54lbs! Also had a 8lb 4oz, 7lb 4oz and 6lb 4oz. The breakdown of the top 5:
11lb 4oz / 25¾" L × 21" G
11lb 4oz / 25½" L × 21½" G
11lb / 25½" L × 21" G
10lb 8oz / 25½" L × 19½" G
10lb / 24" L × 20½" G
I've been trophy hunting for ten years now and this trip is what it's all about! I still can't believe what went down. The first 11lb 4oz hit the net within the first few hours of day 1 of the trip! I was on cloud 9 and told myself any fish from that point on was just a bonus, not knowing four more DD's would hit the net before it was over!
I was able to watch all five DDs eat on the new Mega Live 2. I also was able to hone my mental fortitude this trip by sometimes going 6-7 hours with zero activity/hits and staying mentally in the game. I weighed all the DD's multiple times on my IGFA certified 15lb Boga Grip. As usual, my custom F5 rods paired with the Calcutta Conquest 400MD's put in work! All were caught on various swimbaits. At this time I'm not going to disclose location or exact baits, hope everyone can understand that. I can say all were caught in the US in public waters, no live bait was used and I didn't have a guide.
The series of pics below are in order of the top 5 listed above (More pics on IG - 22RangerZ520R). Man, it's going to be very hard to top this trip and I'm smiling ear to ear just typing this. Can't wait to go again....!
