They were both caught trolling. Targeting hybrids and caught some big ones too. No tourneys of course. We probably caught more bass than hybrids. Biggest hybrid was about 7 along with several others close to that. But a 6, 8.5 and a 9 plus bass is crazy.
I look forward to this time of year every year. Those hybrids fight like no other. A huge bonus to catch those big bass while targeting hybrids. A little break from the bass fishing all year.
The helix 12 is so awesome.
Hybrids and bass mixed in along with some sandies.
The fish are almost always on the downwind side of points.
Edited to say big baits.
