 Red is a very popular color on Bull. Can't tell you how many bass have been caught on Gene larew red worms and craws and red crankbaits over the years. Red jerk baits too, Jewel makes a red single spin that was a killer at night.

Red cranks I've used.  Never saw a red jerker before. though...👊

Nice lookin healthy fish!  I would take that 3 hours of fishing any day of the year. Never thrown a jerk bait that color but there are things  to learn everyday. Just wondering were you moving it pretty fast or letting it sit?

They were hungry, didn't matter if it was slow,still ,or fast. In Winter, when I'm shallow jerk bait fishing ,like along the bank, I tend to fish them a lot faster than you'd think. It's only when I'm trying to pull them up from deeper water , or fishing around brush piles ,that's when I let it dead stick for a while. 

Those fish that are in say 4-8' along the bank can get a really good look at the lure, so I keep it moving, not so much forward movement,but keep it moving. Some of these bites are reaction bites I think. The erratic movement triggers the predator inside
