Two of my goals this year was to beat my PB(about 3 lbs, aint been fishing long) and to catch a bass on a jig.  Well 2nd trip out to a new fishing hole I see the best cover ever, it just screams big bass.  Well all I had was my 7 foot med. action carrot stix so I was like what the heck theirs no way I'm not going to fish this.  So I tie on a small 5/16 oz BooYah bed bug jig and start pitching.  3rd pitch BAM 4 lb bass.  Was scared to death when I set the hook cause I was using a spinning rod with 8lb test.  But boy what a fight I was so pumped.  But now I got a flipping stick on the way(so I dont have a heart attack when fishing near thick cover) and ordered some more jigs now that I have some faith in them. Just thought I'd share   going to try and get a pic here soon.

Congrats on the double whammy! 8-) Get a picture up so we can see.
