Super User Bassn Blvd Posted March 8, 2011 Super User Posted March 8, 2011 Let me set the stage before you watch the movie. Equipment used- G-Loomis IMX, 6'6 ultralight. Shimano Sahara 750 spinning reel. #4 mono. 1/8 ounce Roadrunner jig. My uncle and I got out to the rockpit at about 11:30am. We caught a couple dozen bass by 2pm so I decided to mix it up a bit and try to locate some speck. I headed out to deeper water, equipped with my ultralight, #4 mono and a Roadrunner Speck jig. I had never fished for speck in this lake before but had a feeling that it might hold some fat slabs. Not having a clue where to begin searching for the speck, I decided to just sit behind the steering wheel, monitor the fish/depth finder and idle around until I found some fish. I was in 50' of water jigging my Roadrunner when I felt tap, tap and said to myself "oh yea, speck on!" I set the hook and all of a sudden this happened. I caught about 20 more bass, 1/2 - 2 pounds, on the Roadrunner before the end of the day. I did, however, catch one more about a pound bigger than the last one caught in the video. P.S. How do I put this video on here without it going to my Photobucket page? Quote
hookingem Posted March 8, 2011 Posted March 8, 2011 Now that is cool! Pulling those fish out of 50 FOW with 4# mono.... Quote
Super User Jigfishn10 Posted March 8, 2011 Super User Posted March 8, 2011 That was awesome. 4lb test? Hokie smokes! Congrats on your day! Quote
Shane Procell Posted March 8, 2011 Posted March 8, 2011 That was better than alot of the fishing shows I have seen lately. Quote
Super User SoFlaBassAddict Posted March 8, 2011 Super User Posted March 8, 2011 Great video, Doug. I can't wait to get out to the pit. Now I just need to find some free time...... Quote
Super User Dwight Hottle Posted March 8, 2011 Super User Posted March 8, 2011 Great video for sure. Going against the grain paid off big time. Quote
shimmy Posted March 8, 2011 Posted March 8, 2011 wow! There was a lot that was happening in the video. First off, you didn't even weigh that beauty which blows my mind, but then again you are in Florida and are more used to that type of size. Second, your filming buddy did not seem too happy about the big bass. It was funny listening to his comments. Sounds like you smoked em. Great bass! And i agree as someone else said, this beats other fishing shows. Great job Quote
Super User SoFlaBassAddict Posted March 9, 2011 Super User Posted March 9, 2011 Tell you what, Doug. After watching that again, I may bring my drop shot rod up there with me whenever I get to the pit with you. That could just be ridiculously fun. ;D Quote
