Frink, a native of Simi Valley, Calif., is used to heaving large swimbaits. At top is a Triple Trout, a topwater is in the middle and at the bottom is the bait he did all the damage with yesterday, an El Raton swimbait/wakebait.

Frink is likely the only angler in the area with an El Raton. If you can find one online, they go for upwards of $150.
