I have never done any bass jig fishing at all but this year I planned to do much more.  Finally yesterday I was throwing a 1/2 oz football head jig (black and blue) with a baby paca craw (matching color).  I had felt a couple ticks prior but missed the fish.  Next I moved to a muddy bank with a fair number of laydowns.  First cast on this bank I felt a few ticks.  I reeled up and felt the pressure of the fish and I set the hook pretty hard.  Not a monster but a nice 17" bass.  I was pumped and now I intend to do a lot more jig fishing!

Ah ha...it only gets better...

All it takes is that first one on a jig which is a huge confidence builder.  Some people give up on the jig before that first fish, big mistake on their part.

Watch out they are very addicting......

Ah ha...it only gets better...

And easier  

Uh oh.  Another convert!  Congrats.
