First Ever Shaky Head Fish

[the reel ess]

I got out this morning after a front passed through during the night. It was almost cold and there was a N-NE breeze, not generally a good sign. I managed only three bites and two fish. But the better one was this 5 lb. 9 oz. gal. I decided to try a shaky head worm a couple trips ago but hadn't caught anything on it yet. I decided to fish a little structure with a Zoom Ultravibe Speedworm. On the first cast with it I was rewarded. I had the drag loose and it's a medium combo so it was a good long fight. She nearly swallowed the hook so she wasn't coming off. It only takes one fish to make a trip worthwhile.
