3 bass=14+ lb.'s

jig fisherman · 04-22-11, 06:18 PM

Went out today with my friend and his dad in overcast conditions and about 52 degree, muddy water. Probably one of my best days and these were my first fish caught on a jig.
This largemouth was caught in about 10 feet of water and had a giant gut. We guessed around 5 lb.'s, the picture really doesn't show the true size.

The next three are of a smallmouth ,also caught on a jig, around 4 lb.'s.

The next set of pictures are of the last fish, and easily my biggest smallmuoth ever, beating out the previous one quite easily. We thouhg it had to be close to 5 lb.'s, it was the same length as the largemouth, just not quite as fat.

Unfortunetly for my friend and his dad they caught nothing. I'm pretty sure my friend was close to going insane.

that would be accurate........... still am insane about it. your killing me. if you would have caught one more bass that big i would have been out of the boat swimming to shore in 50 degree water.

say.....what was that big lm in the first pic caught on? im curious...

Nothing like getting a mix of big green and brown fish! Also a great example of why I love jigs, they flat out catch quality fish! Great job!
