Congratulations. That's one fine fish for Illinois, or anywhere else, for that matter.

I hate to be negative in a congratulatory post, but a big fish like that shouldn't be held horizontally by the jaw without other support.

RatLTrap · 09-29-05, 07:43 PM

sorry i only held him like that for like 2 seconds to snap a pic

Fishie · 09-29-05, 09:23 PM

Hey we'll I always use live biat or dead bait.. Catch some blue gill... not real big ones... and some shad... not real huge shad but medium sized ones... put them on live... hook them just a little bit below their fin... have a cork rig set up cast out wait ... if you got a shad on they will swim around with the cork... if you et a fish on your cork will go under and your pole will bend hard... i fish for em in the morning early hours around 5 am - noon... but figure it would be just as good if not better in the afternoon-evening time

abugarcia6 · 09-30-05, 04:48 PM
