What is swimbait fishing and its trophy culture
Swimbait fishing uses custom lures imitating prey like small fish and frogs to target big bass. Anglers fish solo, may weigh lures up to two pounds, and share catches on Swimbait Underground with photos for record-keeping while releasing most fish. The world record is 24 pounds. Dehnadi holds 15 pounds.
