got in probably last night trip of the year, and turned out well.  oh, fullmoon also. cuaght a 4.5lbs., 5-5.5lbs. large mouth, had a 5lbs. smallie up to boat and then it decide to shoot in the air, smack the side of my boat and throw me off. knees were shaky after that fight.

If you don't mind me asking, what were they hitting?

almost all of them on 1/4oz pumpkin jig with baby brush on it, caught few dragging swim bait on bottom.  crossed paths with a guy that caught 5lb. smallie on black spinnerbait, but i'm not a big spinner user.  pitched a torpedo on gravel banks a little and bluegills hit it on every cast, but no bass. i heard shaky head is working well. i would have loved to stay another night but, live 2hrs. away and was worn out

oh, football jig, they come out alot better when plucking line to knock it loose.
