This past weekend was good for me size wise but a bit slow on numbers. Landed some quality fish on a jig.

 

 I was fishing deep off shore trees. I had already fished one particular tree earlier in the day with no luck. I had actually broke off a crank bait in the tree which is always a bummer. A couple hours had passed and I decided I wanted to fish the tree again. I pull up to the tree and took a cast with my jig. After it hit bottom I go to inch it forward. I feel a tree branch and hop it over it. Before the jig hit bottom I felt a bite. I set the hook into what felt like a tree. The fight was on. Even with 50 lb braid the fish was kicking my butt and got wrapped into the tree. I had to go in and try to get it out. After a minute or two of trying to get it unwrapped I some how managed to get it free. Once I had it in the boat I noticed my crankbait that I had lost in the tree earlier in the day sticking out from its side. The fish measured 23 inches and weighed in at 7 lbs 4 oz. My biggest so far this year.

 

7 lbs 4 oz

 

I got a couple more good fish this weekend.

btw - Landing a Trophy Bass like that and having her deliver your lost crank bait to you all means -

Wait, what?  Was the crankbait sticking out of the side of the fish or the side of the tree?

Earlier in the day I lost a crank bait on this particular tree. When I hooked the fish on the jig it wrapped on that tree getting caught on my crank bait as well. Pulled the fish out of the water and the crank bait was in its side.

 

Here is a pic of it.

 

That is too cool. 

 

That crankbait put in the overtime, grabbing hold of a bass you were fighting and trying to help you land him, even after being abandoned.  Maybe he thought it was a suicide mission 

All fine fish. Congrats!

WOW!

 

 

 

 

Awesome catching!! Congrats.
