WHAT A DAY!!! Hit the water about 1pm and fished till 5pm. Started out on a trick stick nothin'. Threw a crank...Nothing. Tied on a Pumpkin jig with a blue ragetail craw (I'm calling it the Big-O Special..haha) and absolutely spaked em!

Caught 22 fish. 17 keepers. 5 best went 19lbs 4 oz with a 7lb 2oz FATTY. The wind and light drizzle started to pick up and stopped taking pictures. Another fisherman came up and took a picture of a 5lb and I generously let him know what I was using .

ENJOY I SURE DID!

It looks like one of those fish has been cut in half lol

    I sure wish I would have had your luck today!!!!!!!!!!  Great fish none the less though.

Way to go Patrick! Nice work!

Is that a public lake? Private lake/pond?

Public. Here is a link to some info. Its my backyard paradise. I live in town and most of my fishing is within 5-10 minute drive from my house.
