First Ned Rig smallmouth

I caught my first smallmouth on a NED rig yesterday on St Clair. So much for being a little fish bait. The fish weighed in at 4-9.

    That bad thing is, it wasn't even close to the biggest one I caught this weekend.

    The Ned is a big fish bait fished in the right spots and a numbers bait everywhere. Now that I think about it, there is a spot where I see Muskie busting big schools of baitfish the size of the Ned, with a bigger hook and a leader I got a shot, will have to try it this summer.

    River fishing I have caught many large smallies with it and trout over 20". It really is just a match the hatch bait for smaller baitfish which all fish eat.

    That is one big cat.  I fish the ned on a L weight rod and have hooked a few cats maybe a quarter of that one's size and they were all touch-and-go to land without beaking my rod.  I love that little rig but I know it is just a matter of time before I hook a monster and break the rod.

    I'll assume your talking to me because his cat is ugly ;) the zman trd worms. And I think the color was either copper craw or something with money in it.
