Michael Becker

Aldrich Pond (OH)

Michael Becker reported catching Largemouth Bass using the Soft Body Swimbaits (Large) technique and Shimano Curado MGL 150 Casting Reel on Aldrich Pond. Additional comments from this report: "After a nice rain shower I jumped in the kayak and fished one of my favorite ponds in NW Ohio. I’ve avoided wake baits mostly because of cost, but the Nessie caught my eye. This was the first time using it this year. I didn’t catch many but did catch a good size one. Great bait and easy to throw on my 7’3” Dobyns MHF matched with my Shimano Curado with 20lb Izorline CoPoly. "
