i'm with you man. after reading up on the effectiveness of jigs on this sight and how when and where to fish em, i bought every color in every weight and a ton of sexy trailers to match. i'm a worm fisherman so the similar approach used in jig fishing comes natural. i havent gotten one yet but its my new years resolution to get me a hawg on a jig. whenever i think to throw a worm, i'm just gonna put on a jig. congrats!!

Yay! Can't wait to catch my first jig fish!

Congrats on the jig fish.  The next one will be even more fun.

Congrats Bob. It's hard to get confidence in the jig but once you do, you'll catch more fish with it. 

Way ta go Bob, here's to many more! 

CONGRATS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How exciting!  I'm still waiting on my first.

Congrats, catch many more on it!

Congrats!!

funny thing is I only got into jig fishing about a year ago and I remember my 1st to! I couldn't believe how productive it got for me, and how good I was hooking fish, never lost 1 on the jig/pig.

All the best to ya in your new technique!

congrats on jig fish!  8-)

Good job man! I just recently stuck my first jig fish too.  You should check it out, its smaller than what you caught, but a jig fish nonetheless.
