Beautiful Fish and WTG!

I got the first order of every color from them SK was already out at the warehouse We need to get BUSY

I agree with the info above as well, and here's my 2 cents Flippin/pitchin is a drawing a reaction strike for the most part. For all of the waters that I fish regardless of locale, in 3 ft or more depth I recommend 3/8 to 1/2oz minimum and up to 1oz for increased depths and/or windy conditions. Slightly heavier presentations are easier to control for precise accuracy and better water entry when pitching, IMO. Rattles in dirty water or low light conditions. I use high action trailers regardless of water temps and slow my own movements or cover the water much slower and more thouroghly in cold conditions. Change the length or bulk in order to tweak the bite to optimum results. Craw style trailers are a standard throughout most parts of the country but I will use the Eeliminator when a longer profile is preferred by the fish and rigged as shown (3/4 inch off of head and threaded on the hook tail turned up toward the hook point)... This is not a plug for the bait... the wide tail whip gets'em excited on the fall or swimming and no other trailer can produce this action. This is all my opinion and hope it helps!

Great Stuff Mike!!!

Nice one and congrats on your PB!

Excellent! Great looking Fish for sure WTG...

Nice one WTG!

Football jigs are not ONLY for rocks and nor are they for ALL rocks! A football jig can be used on any relatively firm bottom with good success including sand, shell, firm clay or otherwise. Deep silt or muck bottoms are not good for dragging any jig especially footballs due to their wide stance. In large, jagged, and more coarse rocks, the football can be a nightmare due to snagging the wider head in the cracks. I use a basic Stand up jig like the Siebert Outdoors Brush jig or Moaner Hooks Predator jig in these conditions. They continue to hold the bait in an upright posture and make ample commotion and noise when working the rocks. Another technique or tactic to remember when fishing big nasty rocks is keep any dragging from the side or with the rod tip down to a minimum to avoid the hang ups. Better to maintain a higher position on your rod tip using slow gentle hops to keep it on top of them instead of settling down in the deeper cracks. Your technique of slow dragging and gentle hopping over the rocks is a fine way to fish them as you have seen. In fact, that is how I fish casted jigs more often than not. Also switching or high jumping a jig allowing it to fall back on a slack line is another important technique to employ at times. It not only attracts the bottom dwellers but also attracts other fish that are suspended higher up off off the bottom. You're on the right track, so just keep an open mind and so much of this will come natural to you...

Here's a Big Head that Matt Wilson caught on his 1oz Moaner Predator Jig trailed with a Rage Craw He's a MACHINE with that rig in his hands and what a FIGHT It was a perfect set up, rocky point falling into the river channel and a stiff cross breeze to keep things interesting. The boat rocks on the hookset and I immediately hear Matt say "This One Is SERIOUS". After some intense line stretching and several top thrashes, she finally gave in and joined us in the boat... IMO, from the hookset to lifting the fish from the water is WOW WTG MATT

Regardless of the weight, It's a GREAT fish and your new PB... CONGRATS Don't Worry - Be Happy
