I caught the new PB last Saturday. That got me thinking about trying live bait. So I went back this evening with that in mind. Didn't net any. So I took off with the usual rigs. They were on almost every piece of wood and were chomping the jig. I got this 7.2 lb off a pine laydown that I spooked some ducks out of. I figured the spot was ruined but I pitched into it anyway. It never hit bottom and when I set the hook, for some reason, the bass took off for deeper open water. It's my jig rod so the drag is clamped down. It took some drag anyway. I landed it pretty quickly. Two 7+ hogs in a week ain't too shabby for me.

 

Wow!

That ain’t too shabby for anybody!

Great Job

Well, I went back this morning with big things in mind. No big slobs this time. I did catch a 3.6 and a 3.0, total of 8 fish. But those are pretty good numbers on the way to the next big bite. It's not unusual to only get a couple bites at this lake in the dog days so the bite is pretty good there right now. I try not to downsize and go finesse there if I can help it because I know there are big fish.

Congrats.  7's fight pretty darn hard.  I still can't imagine what a DD might feel like.  

Congratulations!
