"hamma" Posted April 30, 2017 Posted April 30, 2017 (edited) Thursday and Friday of last week went as folllows,.. Thursday we fished a new pond to us both, mostly stuck to the shallows targeting both largemouth and smallmouth, but what was odd was the amount of hangup's with a jig. With both of us having a trolling motor at hand, the phrase,.. "did ya get it" was common. We both caught fish, with John really putting a hurt on em. Good job John Friday, I was fortunate enough to be on my favorite water body of beautiful Quabbin res. Again John put a good hurt on em, way to go buddy! And I managed 1, two and a half or so pound smallie on a jig I tied early in the morning, and then later on in the afternoon I got hung up. I says,.. "John, I got the world by the butt again", and tried to shake it off. He see's me tryin, and says "Did ya get it?" This came up tail wrapped at first,....

Will Wetline Posted April 30, 2017 Posted April 30, 2017 "hamma," do I understand this correctly? The fish was hooked in the mouth but somehow the line got wrapped around its tail and that's how you reeled it in? Quote
NorthwestBasser Posted May 1, 2017 Posted May 1, 2017 I was jerkbait fishing for smallmouth and thought I hooked a decent fish. By the time I got her to the boat I realized it was a 10" rainbow, no a single hook point in her, Tail wrapped. They sure can fight harder that way! Quote

Once she hit the surface she unwrapped herself, and the true fight was on. After some "discussion" she saw things my way, and posed for the pic. I can still picture John laughing his butt off at me trying desperately to dislodge my jig from this particular "moving boulder",....lol Again,.... still a great day to say the least. TY,... John. Oh,..by the way,....John got the big smallie of the day,. weighting in at 4 lbs 5 ozs,...the one im holding came in a ounce or 2 shy of 4,... Not to bad for early season Quabbin angling Quote
