Started slow, still hadn't figured out the pattern, haven't been out in a few weeks. Tried fishin soft plastics, swim jigs, jigs with ragetail craw as a trailer, not much luck. SO I decide to throw on this tiny crank bait I got at Wally world I think. We pull up to a spot thats got good sunken cover and have snagged some decent ones out of. I throw it out in the middle of the cove, start my retrieve and feels like I get stuck in some thick grass until it pulls back. Come to find this little pig on the end of my line. 6LBs 15 oz, 22"

Nice fish, it feels like it's been forever since I laid into a good sized girl.

Thanks, it had been a few months for me, Was starting to worry I couldn't find them

Down sizing is key when other larger baits are not working or using a Texas/Carolina rig with REALLY slow action can really open doors also.

Nice fish by the way!!!

Great fish....... and very light in color huh or is that just the photo?

Maybe the fall is starting to heat up the action.

Thanks,

Its belly was really light , but she seemed darker to me on top, must be the pic
