Good weekend of bassin topped off by these two HOGS - 8lb 4.25 oz and 7lb 14.75 oz. Caught fish on jig/pig, tubes, dropshots, Senkos, and Matt Lures Sunfish. The most memorable moment though was the one that got away. This AM I had the boat positioned perfectly against 'something' in the morning sun. The lake was like glass and some house was playing some KISW (7:00 AM mind you) Normally when I fish I prefer it to be quiet and calm, but I really enjoyed the music in this tranqil time. I was making some long casts using a Skinney Bear jig with Chiggar Craw trailer and a huge LGMTH emerged and followed it about 8 - 10 feet. I was crouching down, hoping not to scare it. It then wandered off back to its hiding spot. I switched up and threw a dropshot with an ultra dainty bait, and this big pig inches toward it. I swear it took 3 minutes. She took it with the slightest movement of her mouth and began to wander back to her layer. Great hook set, good fish and then I lost her. Oh well, probably in the 7 lb range.
Amazing pigs JW, as usual...but I'd like to throw in a note of commendation to your photog...always a fantastic image!
Thanks
um...I'm confused...
