In my fishing circle I am known as the multi species angler. I only ever throw bass lures, but almost every trip I catch some other type of fish.
My friends joke that I must have the best lure presentation ever, all the fish in the lake want what I throw!
Ive caught drum on jigs, chatterbaits, lipless cranks, Texas rigged soft plastics and spinnerbaits.
I've caught catfish on damn near everything. Usually giant ones, I've got a few 20lb+ catfish on jigs.
White bass, crappie, skipjack on crank baits.
Caught a chain pickerel (in Alabama!) on a frog. I've caught giant 3ft gar on frogs.
Warmouth while punching is a favorite of mine..
My weirdest catch ever would have to be a giant bass though, an 8.47lb monster. I was at a local lake with my girlfriend, and we were testing out a cheap spinning combo I had bought for her. I had just received some rugby wobble heads in one of those monthly tackle boxes, and because it was heavy I decided to tie it on. I then put a half senko on it, and a bizarre color one, I think it was half purple half black. Basically I rigged up just some random junk that could cast really far, and would allow her to get the feel of casting. I bombed it out there to show her how to do it. It was 40 degrees outside in January and we were on a dock in 3fow that is on a giant 3fow weed flat. I was demonstrating to her how to reel slack and lift the rod when my dumbass lure got stuck in the weeds, so I popped the rod tip to shake the weeds off.. And I felt a little tiny tick on the line so I set the hook. Easily the longest bass I've ever caught or seen, and I suspect this fish would have gone 10+ lbs if I had caught her a few months later.
