Caught this beast on a Strike King Red Eye Shad. The New Tungsten 2 Tap in the Natural Shad pattern. I changed out the hooks to the Mustad Triple Grip KVD’s. I don’t think I would have landed this fish without the Mustad hooks, I had a 5 pounder bend out the stock hooks yesterday. The Red Eye shad is an awesome bait, the 2 tap has more of a 1 knocker style sound, not like your traditional Rattle Trap style with all of the rattles. A few ounces shy of 8 pounds, this fish was in perfect shape, solid, strong and healthy.
