So I went over to one of the farm ponds around here that has big fish!

 

So, to go over the ones I caught, I caught 2 on a chatterbait, 2 on a chaterfrog, and two on a t-riged rage craw!

 

Here is the bonus.

 

I was using a papa pit boss, and and swimbait hook, and a 7'3 rod with a heavy duty reel and 30Lb braid, and my drag was locked down tight.

 

I pitched to the bank, and was standing in a very awkward position, when a big on got on!

 

I never saw it, but the reason I know it was big was because it was pulling drag, so it would have been a decent fish! 

 

Due to the fact that I didn't set the hook right, it go away then

Congrats about the fish you landed!

To bad about the fish you lost".

Papa pit boss will definitely produce big bites

Texas rig with a 5/0 EWG Gamakatsu. Weight varies, but something in the 1/4-3/8oz range is usually what I do. 

At least you landed a bunch of fish! You will get the "one that got away", have faith.
