![Gerald Swindle is bass fishingâs funniest man and is, without doubt, one of the best bass anglers in the world. Heâs been in contention to win the two most recent B.A.S.S. events heâs competed in, finishing a heartbreaking 2nd at Bassmaster Elite at Lake Dardanelle, and a highly impressive 4th at BASSfest.](http://www.bassmaster.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/120Gerald20intro20.jpeg)
![Swindle pulled a Frank Sinatra at BASSfest â he did it his way. One of the best boat dock anglers to ever pick up a rod, he caught his bass on Chickamauga from the front posts of docks in 6 feet of water, while most anglers searched for big limits on deep river ledges. Heâs hauled home $57,000 in prize money over the past month, and sits in 6th in the Toyota Bassmaster Angler of the Year points.](http://www.bassmaster.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/220Swindle20pattern.jpeg)
![His primary lure was a 3/8-ounce Booyah jig with a green pumpkin/blue flash Zoom Z-Hog threaded on to the hook as a trailer.](http://www.bassmaster.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/320Gerald20lure.jpeg)

![His rod of choice for skipping and pitching the jig around docks was a Quantum EXO model #EXC747XF, and Quantumâs super lightweight T100 Mg reel saved on fatigue while working as a winch.](http://www.bassmaster.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/520Swindle20rod20reel.jpeg)
