1. Caught an ol’ bucketmouth on a buzzbait! Didn’t have my scale with me of course! But didn’t think she beat my PB of 7.5lbs. What do you guys think - about 6lbs???

  2. Can anyone tell me how much this bass weighed? The bait used in the bottom right photo is 3.5 inches (sorry I shaded out the tail which is currently in prototyping ...more and for my eyes only!)

      that’s pretty accurate weight judging from the pics. Nice Hawg!👍👍👍
    2. Shawn Gearinger 0
      Max there are some charts online for different species to estimate the weight by the length. Just google it. Its worth having a copy when you cant weigh one.
    3. Max Cobb 0
      thanks Shawn that was my estimate too around 6lbs
    4. Shawn Gearinger 0
      Just rough estimate around 20.5 to 22 inch should be around 6 lbs to 6.5 lbs. Nice catch either way! 🎣🐟

  3. Seriously?? Did they remove the contour lines from the basic package and we have to pay to see them now? Google earth view as well??? The lakes just look like mud ...more now.

    1. Max Cobb 0
      if they are gonna do that, there should be an option cheaper than the $49 for 1 year to see contour and google earth. I paid $20 for 1 yr real Navionics contours.....
  4. I am trying to start a lure company, mostly soft plastics with custom designs, some design features could be patentable. I’m working on the company name. Does the ...more name “Artificial Intelligence” make sense to you guys? Or should I go with something more simple like “Armada Baits Company"? Thanks!

    1. Max Cobb 0
      thanks Demetrius, which one?
    2. Demetrius Wright 0
      Awesome name for one of your products.
    3. Max Cobb 0
      maybe “Fallout Lures”
    4. Max Cobb 0
      or is there another nuclear themed name which sounds better?
    5. Max Cobb 0
      alright guys. I’ve got another name lol. I’m gonna try for a nuclear fallout theme, like all of the baits have mutations. company name “Half-Life Baits”

      bad news guys... the name is taken by a fishing mold company. but I thought of a new name... U.F.O. Baits Company (Unidentified Fishing Objects) ... slogan “different ...more gets bit”

      idk like make the F I S H part of arti-fish-al with a fish scale print or something
    12. Max Cobb 0
      what is that?
    13. Christopher Pereira 0
      Fish scale print
    14. Max Cobb 0
      yes 100% agree. maybe not all caps but a different font.
    15. Christopher Pereira 0
      do the 'fish' part of the word in a different lettering so it stands out imo
    16. Max Cobb 0
      thanks Chris! I have asked the people who are making my molds and they agreed, Artifishal Intelligence, it’s just too clever to pass up!
    17. Christopher Pereira 0
      if you're going to do artificial intelligence you have to do the arti fish al pun!
    18. Max Cobb 0
      Artifishal Intelligence? That’s what my wife said too! But my brother said no. ugh, can’t decide!
    19. Christopher Pereira 0
      should be "Arti-fish-al Intelligence"
    20. Scott S 0
      I agree..."Artificial Intelligence" Now you just need a logo
    21. Max Cobb 0
      thanks guys. I ran it past a few friends who don’t bass fish, and they didn’t understand the play on words. I thought it was clever, glad to hear that my target ...more audience agrees!

      thanks Bill I hope they fix it soon

      what about the # of views thing I got excited at first but now I think they must be a glitch. Some of the ones that went viral got the least number of likes.

  7. Had a blast catching these two 40+ lb Cobia sight casting to a buoy 10 miles offshore. This was the coolest thing to see the fish follow and eat the bait right in ...more front of us! We had some delicious steaks as well!

  9. My brother and I went “lunker hunting” on the 60 acre farm pond this weekend, using only big bream swimbaits from Huddleston. We didn’t get a ton of bites but the ...more ones we did get were big! Pictured here is a 4.5 and a 5.5 lb bass. I lost one a lot bigger too! Lots of fun setting the hook into heavy fish.

    9 lb. 12 oz. Largemouth Bass

  10. I see a lot of people posting crappie pictures right now. After many attempts at various times of the year, I still cannot figure out how to catch these tasty fish. ...more Somebody help!

    1. I've caught them in as little as 2 feet. You'll have to search, shallow mud flats or sand. They're in spawning mode now.
    2. Max Cobb 0
      The water temp is 58 in the lake I am fishing this weekend. Will they be on points in 10ft water or on flats? Brush or hard bottom?
    3. Once you find them stick with them because sometimes they can be picky. They mostly travel and hang out in schools. So once you catch one you should be able to catch ...more a bunch. Chris and I have had 100+ days. Try different colors until you find out what they want.
    4. Christopher Pereira 0
      how warm is your water in south carolina? if it's in the 60's already you're going to want to look for structure somewhat nearby deeper water. they ...more love docks in or near deep water and any structure that isn't super shallow. I'd recommend staying into the dark if you want the really big ones sometimes wait til then to feed heavy it seems.
    5. Max Cobb 0
      Thanks for all of the great tips guys! Maybe I will give it a shot this weekend.
    6. Usually the North end of the lakes heat up first Max. Also try slingshot casting up under the docks
    7. Max Cobb 0
      Haha! That's a good one Andrea! Thanks for the advice!
    8. Steven jeffer 0
      fish dead end channels. thats where the warmest water will be. hit the docks and wood. i just use minnows but gulp minnows work to on a jig head
    9. Andrea Wyatt Purnell 0
      Watch the water temp. They are transitioning toward shallower water in Arkansas. 10-14 ft total depth and suspended about 8-9 ft, moving up during the daytime. Use ...more your maps and look for flats, creek bed channels and brush piles. Didn't have much luck yet closer to the bank but they are definitely transitioning toward that direction. Water temps here ranged from around 49-53 this past weekend. As the sun come out and mid day hits we noticed they came up and even hit some of the top minnow rigs. This usually means you are fishing too deep when they only hit the top (double rig) Also, if you've never tried Capps and Coleman minnow riders.. give them a shot. I can't explain the difference but all I will say is we were hesitant to spend the $ but we will never go back! There is a lot of truth behind them. Start with the pink jig! Crappie are a lot like women.. They are hard to figure out and what they want seems to change frequently! Lol! Let you tube be your best friend! Watch some videos and it will rally help you.
    10. Scott S 0
      Sometime I will start off with a bobber and minnow to locate the fish and then switch to a crappie jig and fish the same type areas as where I caught fish on the ...more minnows. Beetle spins will catch Crappie, I'm just not sure if the water is up to temp where you are fishing. If the water temp is below 55 deg. they will probably be a little deeper 8-14 ft. and not want to chase baits.
    11. Max Cobb 0
      Fishing "trial and error" for crappie like I do bass - moving from dock to dock or fall down to fall down, casting beetle spin jigs, is that an option? ...more Or I have to know where they are and throw different baits in one spot until they bite.
    12. Max Cobb 0
      Thanks guys! I think the toughest part for me is choosing the right spots. I am fishing Lake Greenwood SC. If I go fishing this weekend, where do you think they ...more will be holding? Are they up on docks with brush by now? Or are they staging on points? Do you have to know a secret spot to get into a school of them, or can you pick them off like bass?
    13. Andrea Wyatt Purnell 0
      Try either Jenko mermaid jig bodies, Bobby garland slab slayers or beaver bottom baits! Our go to is always a pink or chart jig head. I love the Jenko slasher heads, ...more pro-built jigs, and the beaver bottom jigs are really good too. I like a real eye better than a painted eye. Tip with minnow and make sure you aren't fishing under them! They feed up. As for jig colors.. typically depends on the lake. We mostly have muddy water around us. We always try black/chart, bluegrass, dirty milk and orange/chart. Had really good luck with beaver bottom- "mr. Wister, blue grass, fried pickle, screw driver and pink panther". Jenko- " bluegrass, blue ice, dirty milk, pepper dew, blue ice, sunburst,and lucky leprechaun". BG- gumdrop, white/chart, firefly. Just look up colors of the names above and go from there. You have to be willing to try a lot. They may change what they want from day to day or lake to lake. Do what he said above. They like a moving bait most of the time. Read up on the lakes you fish and see what others are saying and see what they are using! Ask around too! The worst you can get is nothing. Hope this helps!
    14. Where are you fishing Max
    15. Christopher Pereira 0
      Shallows near deep water with inlet or creek nearby. Small colorful plastics or baits 1-2ft under a bobber. Pull it pause or jiggle it.
