offsidewing Posted July 30, 2015 Posted July 30, 2015 it was a lazy afternoon on the lake so I asked my bored teenaged son if he wanted to go kill an hour fishing a rock line off a nearby island. He got a couple 1 lb smallmouth off senkos and I decided to try out the drop shot rig. Haven't had any success with it all summer, but I decided to try and get the hang of it today. Well, on the famous "last cast, then will go in" line, I hooked this old girl. Didn't have a scale in the boat but she was a TANK. And yes, this was my first fish on a drop shot. Was using a 6'8" MXF St Croix LTB, Plueger Supreme XT spinning reel, 6# Yo-Zuri Hybrid, a 1/0 Octupus hook, 3/16 oz pencil weight, and a Yamamoto 4" Shad worm in Green Pumpkin w/ Black Flake. 3 Quote
Super User A-Jay Posted July 30, 2015 Super User Posted July 30, 2015 That's a heck of Bass - especially on the DS ~ Congrats So probably it's safe to say that you may fish that rig at least one more time . . . . A-Jay 3 Quote

Super User A-Jay Posted July 30, 2015 Super User Posted July 30, 2015 Guess you've never seen 21 lbs of largemouth caught on dropshot before. Guess not. Maybe I just don't fish it enough. I'm still hopeful though. A-Jay 2 Quote
