I used to fish all the time up until mid high school.  Got away from it for whatever reason but started up a bit last summer, really into it this year. I bought a 10 foot Basshunter and read here extensively as I try to learn.  I live in the suburbs of Chicago and yesterday we went to my daughters house.  They have a small lake, about 6-8 acres right in the middle of her subdivision and it's right behind her house.  I decided to throw a few casts out from shore and try a wacky rigged Senko.  I've never fished a wacky rig, or a Senko for that matter.  

 

Here's my second cast result.............

 

Congrats!! Wacky rig is deadly, as you found out  

Nice Bass ~

Congrats

Similar results to my first time using a senko... Except for I caught around 15 young adults and decided I'd give my buddy a senko and show him what I was doing (we were bank fishing).. he had results similar to yours. One big bass. A lot more to the story but now's not the time. 

 

 

Nice fish. Welcome back to bassin

What a great photo.  Thats the face of a happy man.  Well done.

Nice fish, great pic!

 

Good one Congrats

Congrats, and welcome back to bass fishing.  I took a 15year hiatus as well and recently got back into it a month ago and was told to wacky rig Senkos right off the bat.  That's pretty much my go to bait and it has been very rewarding.  Senkos can be fished so many different ways as well and are quite versatile.  Best of luck out there.
