First fish on a jig! And a few others....

Bassboss · 04-12-09, 07:54 AM

Went fishing yesterday and caught my fist fish on a jig!

Just a little dink, but still the first!

I tried using it like a swim jig, but got nothing, than i stated pitching it to reachable pockets in the hydrila, and than he hit it! It was sunny with a few clouds, and bunch in the distance. The pic...

Than it got to getting overcast, so I thought it could try to get a top water bite, and that worked out well!

I used a Rapala Jointed floating minnow, a great injured bait fish imitation imo!

This little porker (see belly)

And this little devil hit right next to a hyrilla mat and dove in, it came up with 20lb of salad......... Was any ones guess how big it was!

Here's this biggest one (16-18").... made a huge wake from under a mat to come and get it, made me think it was a lot bigger than it really was! She also jumped over a weed mat and got 4 feet of air easy!

That was really cool to watch!

another view....

So that make 72 bass this year, plus one I caught with my friend later that day makes 73!

~Good luck, and good fishin!

Hey dude, nice fish. I've had open water for a months and I've still got Cabin Fever... It'll do me good to work on the boat today.

Hey, good post. Look's like a fun day with some nice weather too.

Nice pics of those fish boss. That jointed Rapala is a good bait. One many have forgotten about. Which makes it good for us who havn't.

Nice fish bassboss! I too am not an experienced jig fisher, but did watch kevins videos. I love fishing soft plastics on T-rig, but have never caught a fish on a jig.....did it hit on the initial descent or were u working it in the cover?
