So today i decided after school to go fish at a local pond with my friend. we always catch bass there, decent sized ones too. but today was a little different. my friend was catching fish on crankbaits, which ive never had any luck with in ponds. so i went down and met him there. i put on a crank and started throwin it out there. i caught a 1lb -1.5lb little fish on it and then as far as sexy shad luck goes, it suddenly stopped. my friend caught a continuous load of the same sized fish for about a hour. then we decided to go to a dock. i put down my ultra light setup and brought my baitcaster out with a texas rig senko. all i did was drop it down on slack line and instantly got a huge thump! i immediately started reeling in but i forgot to set the hook, and as soon as he hit the top of the water he spit it out at my face, mocking me. i knew he was a chunk haha. so i wacky rigged it cuz he broke the nose tip of my worm. didn't have any luck for about 10 minutes and then he just put the worm in his mouth and started swimming with it, so i set the hook super hard and reeled in. when i saw him my jaw dropped haha. biggest fish ive caught on my own to this day. and pretty big for a pond fish.

Good catch! Good job man!

thanks haha, definitely addicting to try to catch big fish.

Very nice catch!

way to go!

Nice one! The wacky rig strikes again!

Nice job.
