Honestly, I can't tell you exactly what ripped it in half. I was pulling (then yanking) HARD, so I don't think the material was at fault. I was actually very surprised by the quality of the bait and how well it moved in the water.

C'mon Bearsphan........give us something better. For most of us, we've been cooped up inside all winter and can't wait to get out on soft water again. We need something to get us going again. Here...let me help.
I can't tell you exactly what ripped it in half, but I was trolling slowly when a wake the size of a pontoon boat came up in the water right about where the lure was. I was both excited and scared it was so big. I saw fins for a second, then suddenly, the wake caught up to the boat, hit the transom and forced the boat forward with a sudden thrust throwing both me and my rod on the floor of the boat. I never let go though and through the whole event, knew it was a trophy. Then, as I was getting back to my feet, I thought I saw FIRE and certainly saw smoke rising right off the surface of the water. The heat was so intense that I was nearly sun burned by it. Then....the tug was gone and the wake started moving away from the boat. When I finally was able to reel in my swim bait.....it was in half. (show picture here)
That's my story and I'm sticking to it!

Last time I saw a mouth like that it had a hook in it.

Not sure if your joking or not. But I will answer it seriously.
From basspro that is listed as a crankbait, not a swimbait. So unfortunately your trophy fish would not count.
Oh, I am one of the biggest clowns on here...I was just posting it to get a laugh. I still don't know how the little guy got his mouth opened that wide

Give this a read. My dad and I wrote this over 20 years ago
The next time won't be the first time I've made the same mistake twice.
All the romance of fishing exists in the mind of the angler and is in no way shared by the fish.
Do illiterate people get the full effect of Alphabet Soup?
