I'm gearing up for a season of Nebraska bass fishing. The new state record would be an 11 lb. fish. The lake I fish has had several 9 pounders thrown back over the years. Our main bait fish are Gizzard Shad and Bluegill. Would a 12" castaic bait be an overkill? What do you guys suggest? What is the smallest fish you've caught on a bait over 10"? Thanks for your help.
