GrandSlamBasser87 Posted July 13, 2007 Posted July 13, 2007 Went to a pond I had left alone for about a week this mornin' around 9. Started off Jig flippin' a few spots along the bank that normally hold fish and caught 5 pretty quick. Moved out and started throwin' a Bomber 6A and caught 10. I had been fishin' for about an hour and had 15 so I was more than happy, despite the biggest only being 2lbs, but always fun to catch them on a Jig flippin'. I was gonna call it a morning as not to fish it too hard, then I remembered a spot I had gotten hung up on something with a C-Rig the week before so I decided to try and find it with my Jig; no depth finder or any other way to find anything. I was using a 1/2oz Strike King Pro Model Jig in Camo with a 4" Gambler Ugly Otter in Watermelon Red trailer. My first cast was just an attempt to find the structure I had hung before and boy did I find it. I began feeling some limbs in contact with my jig and I popped it over them and let those paddles on the Ugly Otter flutter to the bottom. I raised my rod to about 10o'clock and that's where I felt the slightest bump. I kept tension and I saw my line moving off to the left and I immediately set the hook hard and it was solid!!! I was able to keep her to only one thrash and lipped my new PB jig-fish at 8-02lbs! Of course I was by myself and no camera to take a pic but she swam off great to fight another day. Thought I would share a great hour and a half morning with ya'll and that was my second over 8 this year. This one had the head of the 10lber I have been trying hard to get but she was spawned out, still a great fish! Quote
basspro48 Posted July 14, 2007 Posted July 14, 2007 Man I love the feeling of slamming the hook into a monster, nice job! Quote

IdahoLunkerHunter Posted July 17, 2007 Posted July 17, 2007 Eight plus pounds of Bass from the shore on a jig is Outstanding!!! Dan Yes it is... I had my PB day on the shore about 3 weeks ago with 21lbs3oz with 4 fish. It was the best day ever Quote
GrandSlamBasser87 Posted July 17, 2007 Author Posted July 17, 2007 This one was out of a 14' jon boat, but I did catch my 2 previous 8lbers off the shore on a Terminator Spinnerbait. The 8-08 lber I have on the wall was a shoreliner. Basspro- The one we drive down the hill to that we went to a couple times when you have been around. Quote
