| ok, there has been alot of talk lately here about 2 lb bulldawgs....i throw BIG baits, almost exclusively, some people love em, some hate em, but I would love to hear how many fish that any of you have caught on 2 pounders or mammoth sues. not asking how or where, but just general success stories. thought it would be a good topic. myself personally i have had several follws, but no takers. will keep pounding....pics are always great also! thanks and good luck to all!

Location: MN | I think the last time I tallied it up I had 12 or 13 fish on 2 pounders or mammoth sues. And 9 of those have been on one mamouth sue. Those fish have ranged in size from 39" to 51" with only of them 3 of them less than 45". |

| The truth about 2 pound bulldogs? French or English? Either way, they're pretty small. |

If you workout and stretch you've got nothing to worry about! The right equipment also makes it no different than hucking a pounder. |

| Tim is right. the right equipment is the key. just like any other sport. nascar pit crews dont play with cheap tools..... |

Correct, but yet again, there are those who do work on semi trucks, and take it serious... |

| I started throwing them 3 years ago on Vermi in the fall. I was always behind 2 pounders and i kept getting bit so, I kept throwing 'em all fall. By Christmas my neck and shoulder pain turned into numbness in my left arm and dramatic loss of strength. Went to the Dr and they found a herniated disk in my neck...had to get an injection. Moral of the story: don't throw 'em; they'll work...then you'll have to keep throwing 'em...it's a viscous cycle!!! |
