Thanks man! Been an avid browser for a while. I actually have some of your jig vids (including one of those) favorited on youtube. Great material. If a strike doesn't occur once the jig enters the water do you prefer more of a hop or a drag or a combination of both? I always feel like maybe I'm sweeping the jig too high

Got off work today and went straight to a local pond that has some monsters in it. I used to lake fish and bring back 4, 5, and 6's and help stock this nice pond. Decided to flip a jig around the two docks and also around the island that has a good amount of rock surrounding it. Caught 4 with the biggest shown below. The big one hit on the drop off a dock piling and the rest were from VERY slowly shaking and sliding the jig over the submerged rocks. Broke a very nice one off right before I left and she jumped trying to throw the jig. Awesome sight! As many of you are, something about fishing a jig really excites me though it's not a #'s bait most of the time. I feel like I have a good grasp of flipping wood and rocks but I was wondering if someone could give me some open water pointers. For example I spooked a few pigs around the bank today that looked as if they could have eaten my big fish of the day for breakfast. I know for sure there are some 9 plus maybe even 10 plus bass in this pond. So what's a go to retrieve for open water? Thanks guys!
