I use 3/8 oz swimjigs most of the time, because I can fish them slow, or speed it up when necessary. V&M and SK make nice ones.

I caught a 4.35 pounder on a 7'M last night, and the rod didn't break a sweat, so I'm confident I can mug anything foolish enough to bite my jig with a 7MH... (pics to come, waiting for my coangler to email me them... was the big bass of the tourney worth 68 bucks)

What did you catch him on? A jig? What color?

In addition, I go with bluegill colors most of the time. I feel those colors come close to craw colors as well. I don't really care which the fish thinks it is, as long as it bites.
