Did any of you see that two part series on espn about fishing for really big FW bass using giant swim baits?

I am not a FW fisherman but those lures sure looked good to me! That one that looks like an 11" trout and swims on the surface looks just like a live herring on a hook! I went to a web site that sells these things and they have a shad/herring/sardine like colors. I may give them a shot in the bolders here.
If you missed it they were in search of 15+ lb FW bass that feed on trout that are stocked in this lake in CA. (lake caseda?) THey were using really big rubba swimmers like storms. Some were surface swimmers and some were deep swimmer that weigh like 9-14 oz and 14" long. They were casting conv rigs that looked like gear I would use for 30+ lb striped bass.

Anyway it was an interesting couple shows...I plan to order a few and test them out in SW this spring.
