first bass on jig!

Featured Replies

So today me and my friend went out fishing because it got a little warmer today and around 430 i threw on a jig with a rage tail craw just to see if i could catch anything because I've never caught anything on one and given it so much time out on the water so i throw it and caught this little bass less than a pound big but i was still exicted because i wasnt expecting anything from a jig. So i get that jig stuck in a tree and had to cut my line so i get another one that had on a rage tail chunk on it and a couple casts later my line takes off and it was a nice 2 to 3 pound bass! Couple casts later i caught this 11 pound monster! It was crazy the first day I've ever caught a bass on a jig i caught 3 in one day! Not to mention 1 was a good size and the other was a freaking hawg! I was just using the jigs like i use t-rigged worms, horizontal to vertical with my rod. It was crazy! :)

This thing was a monster! :) and just because we use a crappy spring scale thats older than mcdonalds doesnt mean we need one that gives us correct readings. I happen to like the ones it gives us juuuuuust fine! ;) haha

Yes, it was pretty amazing how i texas rigged an old monster and didnt catch anything and then throw out there a small jig compared to the old monster and catch that thing? It didnt make sense but yes I can't wait to go buy some different jigs and stuff.  ;D

Awesome  ;D

Nice work man. It's always nice to catch fish using a new technique, especially an absolute monster.

I think he was referring to the first fish more than the big one. I'd have to say that 2-3 pounds is definitely a stretch. That second fish is a hog though! Look at the mouth on that sucker... Awesome catch!

The first fish is around 1 pound, maybe a little more. Still, nice fish.  :)

Haha well me and my friend have determined that our scale is about 2 pounds, so im thinking that 11 pounder was about 9 and the 3 was about 1 and a half b/c it actually read 3 and 1/2 which i knew was wrong.

Nice bass bro!!You threw him back or getting it mounted?

I thew him back! I don't have the money right now to get one mounted, plus if i get one mounted its gonna be "nessy", as me and my friend like to call her. ;) lol Which i'd probably even then just measure it and take good pics and still release her. :)

Great catch! Definitely get a good scale when you can afford it. I caught this one at lunchtime today on a jig. It weighed 4 lbs. 5 oz.

I just casted it out there and gave it a lot of slack to fall straight down then would just reel in the slack and lift my rod to like a 12oclock position every few seconds of lettin it sit.

WTG H4H and you can now say you are a true Jig'a'Maniac.  What color jig n chunk were you using?

Great photo,
