Always a treat to see Smallmouth Bass getting whacked on a Donkey Bay Swimbaits pogey.
I hear SMB love loud colors.

One of my favorite things about being a lure builder is taking part in someone catching the biggest fish of their life.
Trey O'Neill did just that on a recent trip using an OG Pogey in a greenback color.
Trey smashed his PB by about 2.5 lbs!
Congrats Trey and thank you for sharing your catch pics with a Donkey Bay Swimbait!!

The most important part of a swimbait, by far!!

I lost the biggest trout of my life… twice… before finally figuring this out.

4 days. Multiple blown chances. One adjustment that changed everything.

This one ended up being my personal best (for now)… but it almost didn’t happen.

Full breakdown in the comments.

Had a blast fishing the Release Over 20 trout tournament in Hopedale, LA on Saturday at Hopedale Marina. I teamed up with Courtland Vice and we pretty much grinded all day for a few bites!
It was nice to gather with like minded big trout anglers, even though the fishing was tough.
This was the third year this event was held in Hopedale.
Definitely a great organization centered on trout conservation with a focus on improving the trophy trout fishery. Right up my alley!! Definitely recommend checking them out and their events.
