BucketmouthAngler13 Posted June 13, 2007 Posted June 13, 2007 After a big hail storm went through I hit the lake. Tried out megastrike on a jig for the first time and cought a 12"er as soon as my lure hit the water the first cast. Couple casts later, I got a 4lb 20"even bass. Quite nice for these parts. I was using a Black/red BPS 1/4 jig with the tail half of a Black/blue 10" powerworm as a trailer. I cast back in the same spot and see a very slight twitch in my line as my jig falls. I set the hook and all I felt was slack line, the bass had picked it up and ran at me. I cought up to her and she surfaced about 15ft out and I got a good look at her. I'm not good at weight guessing but I'm darn sure she was a new PB. A real sow. As soon as he went under he spit the hook and the jig came flinging back at me. Towards the evening I tied on a homemade popper and got 4 hits but no hook ups. All in all it was a great day but I wish I got a good hookset on the big one.

alhuff Posted June 13, 2007 Posted June 13, 2007 Nice fish Bucket.....keep up the good work. Nice pics also..... Alfred Quote
edbassmaster Posted June 13, 2007 Posted June 13, 2007 Nice job Bucket!! That green heron almost looks like a kingfisher...I never herd of a green heron. Cool!! Quote
Guest avid Posted June 13, 2007 Posted June 13, 2007 Man, you really found the formula that day. It's cool when you do something a little different and it works. red/black jig with a bitten off azz end of a blue curly tail worm. Now that's how a bass man "gits er done" Quote
Super User David P Posted June 13, 2007 Super User Posted June 13, 2007 Great fish man! Always sucks to lose one, but it's always better to lose one then to never have had it in the first place (In my opinion). Think the megastrike made a difference? Or just a good day? I've never been much into scents, but have been lately thinking about giving it a try.. Quote
Super User T-rig Posted June 13, 2007 Super User Posted June 13, 2007 Well done! Sooner or later you'll get that big one! Quote

I've never been much into scents, but have been lately thinking about giving it a try.. I'm sure it didnt hurt anything. I'm going to use it more often. I'm guessing it makes them hold onto it longer, wich is great when fishing a jig. GJ NEWB! LOL your just jealus. When was the last time you cought a 4lber? ;D Quote
NJfishinGuy Posted June 13, 2007 Posted June 13, 2007 GJ NEWB! LOL your just jealus. When was the last time you cought a 4lber? ;D NEVER!!! probably, at least not that i have seen in our last 3 trips out HAHAHA!!! whos the newb now mike lol Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted June 13, 2007 Super User Posted June 13, 2007 Great post! Nice fish and pics, too. Quote
BASS fisherman Posted June 13, 2007 Posted June 13, 2007 What does Mega Strike smell like? Rotting fish, shad enzymes, ben-gay? I might like to try it, depending on what it smells like. I don't want to be fishing all day smelling like anchovie paste. nasty..... :-? Nice fish too! Quote
NJfishinGuy Posted June 13, 2007 Posted June 13, 2007 it has a fishy smell to it, but it doesnt linger very long just wipe your finger with a rag and you wont smell it more than 5 mins Quote
BucketmouthAngler13 Posted June 13, 2007 Author Posted June 13, 2007 I used the Crawfish sent. It smells just like preserved crawfish. It stays on your lure for a long time and doesnt smell that bad when its on your hands and can be washed of easily. Quote
