I'm referring to the Wiggle Rig that someone posted about on BDO.  I skunked out at the bigger pond as I motored around in my little boat.  High 90's here today with the water temp up to 85 degrees, light breeze, and a bluebird sky with almost no clouds.  I had a few hits but no hookups.

Went over to the walk-around pond and got a bite on that rig on the first cast from the dam but no hookup.  Threw 4 or 5 different baits/plugs from the dam but no takers.  Went around to the western side of the pond and threw the WiggleRig/Swimming Senko out quite a ways.  Started shaking it(see one of the site's videos if you're interested), pausing, shaking, then hopped it towards me and repeated that sequence.  About 20' from the bank, she picked it up and I set the hook.  She fought hard, taking drag on 2 or 3 lunges.  When I finally lipped her, the GY Sugoi hook was snagged just under her skin, right between her eyes.  I was lucky the skin held.

Caught a dink on the same rig and missed a couple of bites which was my fault.  Then, at about 2 PM, I headed for the AC.

I am thoroughly impressed. I cruise the site probably daily because due to summer classes, work, and the girlfriend, I can barely find time to get out on the water myself. I know as soon I see that date formatting posted by Lighninrod going through the list of threads, I'm going to be treated to some great pics of great bass. Keep up the great work!

Nice bass, but that wiggle rig looks like the "TV" boomerang rig (http://www.renosky.com/boomerang/). Is it pretty much the same?

Yes, the same man invented both but he say's the WR is the Boomer's replacement.  Never bought into the Boomer but the WR seem's to work.l

djd22:  Thank you very much for the kind words.  I try.

Nice fish and what kind of setup is that you are using.

Interesting concept,  nice fish Dan, as always.

If you mean the rod and reel; that's a Megabass Jabberwock Evolution rod and a Daiwa TD-Z Type R reel.

Great job Dan!

Great Post as Always Dan!

Thanks again guys.

kd:  Here's my camera/tripod setup:

Here, the camera is tilted up for bank fishing pics:

I keep the camera level for pics when in the boat.  The nylon line is used to tie the tripod/camera to a clamp on the boat.  The camera tripod lies on the deck with the tripod collapsed when not in use.  Word of warning;  Get a quality(at least $40-50) tripod or you may lose the camera when the tripod's clamp(holding the camera's tripod attachment) let's lose and the camera goes overboard.  Don't ask :-[.
