Fished A Jig For The First Time!

[jbone177]

Well...  Technically Ive fished a jig before but Ive really only swam them because I had no idea how to really fish them.  This afternoon I had gone out and gave jig fishing a try.  I have to thank everyone here for the guidance.  I got a couple of hits on my swim jigs...

 

 

 

But then decided it was time to give some of my new siebert jigs a try.  I tied one on, cast it out there, and did exactly as Glenn talked about in his videos.  As soon as it hit the bottom i gave it a quick shake without lifting it and this is what bit...

 

I wish I had a scale or tape measure with me.  But either way this was the biggest bass Ive ever caught! I figure it was somewhere around 7lbs (?) I cant believe the first time fishing a jig the way I was supposed to and this is what happened lol.  Needless to say, Im addicted now.  Thanks again to everyone here for posting all of the information that you guys do.  And I am especially thankful to Glenn May for all of his videos.  Over the last two days Ive caught one dozen fish using top water frogs, swim jigs, and jigs (now the correct way), which is up from two fish total last year HAHA!  All thanks to the info. posted on here!

Thats awesome!! Keep at it. The jig fish get bigger. I caught my personal bbest smallie (5.2 lbs) on a jig when i was in PA on the susquehana river, two weeks ago. Its my favorite bait. The little shake is all it takes sometimes.

I just ordered some more from you as a matter of fact!  But to be honest it was probably actually around 5 MAYBE 6 pounds.  It was really tough to tell and I was REALLY excited haha.  I guess I'll have to go back and catch her again now that I have a scale.
