Weld's Largemouth Posted July 30, 2014 Posted July 30, 2014 Hey all! This afternoon I went fishing at a nearby pond that has a dock and is pressured heavily everyday by fishermen ( most of them are using bread or corn and are catching crappie, but a good amount of them fish for and catch bass) I went there at 3 30 and fished frogs in the pads for a while, then jigs , then senkos. Then I tried spinnerbaits, Jerkbaits, senkos and crankbaits in the open water. I tried swimbaits and finesse worms yet the fish just would not bite! a couple other fishermen were there and were having the same bad luck. Then at 8:00 I tie on a motor oil with red flake color senko , weightless . I cast out into open water but next to the edge of the lily pads. I feel a big thump on my line and set the hook. Fish fought for a couple minutes, great fish. Landed him and he was 20 in long, 3 lb 12 oz. skinny fish but very nice! Persistence pays off!! Booyah!!!! Photo : http://imgur.com/8ukJ5CI 4 Quote
Super User Catch and Grease Posted July 30, 2014 Super User Posted July 30, 2014 Nice! 20 inches is a darn good fish, especially being limited to fishing from a single dock! 1 Quote
