Me and a couple of friends decided to hit a small pond today since central Missouri was seeing temps near 70 after we got almost 6 inches of snow on Monday. Me and one of my friends only had about 30 minutes to fish until we had to leave to play some hockey. I that 30 minutes, we all got skunked. Threw everything from a Rat-L-Trap to some trick worms to some shallow runners. Not more than 10 minutes later, we both received texts with these pictures....

(same fish just next to his tacklebox for comparison)

And then this one...

He was throwing a black jig with a black and blue craw. Temps are supposed to be in the 70s tomorrow so you know where we'll be 8-)

You didn't swith to the jig and pig after not getting bit on your fast moving reaction baits!? The jig is one of the ultimate cold water techniques! I bet you'll give it a shot now!

wow now those are some fat bass!

if you were with friends why didn't you get a picture holding the fish!

Those are some hawgs!

if you were with friends why didn't you get a picture holding the fish!

He didn't catch these If I understand correctly, his friend caught these 10 min. after he left.

Correct. Me and my other friend had left to go play hockey. The one kid that stayed after we left sent us these pictures right after we left. The were released, by the way (we always practice CPR).
