jtakeman said:jags were did you get the 9.5 pounder? Nice fish! On 6# even! I don't think I could stand that. I use 10# cranking and 12 to 14# jigging and rigging. I still use mono too. But very tempted to use some of the super lines. Just gotta get used to that sound they make!
It was on a private freeway pond (about 8 acres). Had a huge food source of bluegills for them footballs to chow down on. I have a 2 man plastic boat with a trolling motor on the front. It was caught using a 6" culprit plastic worm fished sloooooow. We (my fishing buddy and I) used 6# because the bass were getting a little too smart. Virtually no snags in the lake, so once the fish was on, you had all the time in the world to work'em. French made Mitchell 300 and tons of back reeling were involved. Oh, no net. That thing had to be lipped into the boat.
No lie - the VERY NEXT CAST I made after that fish was a 6# bass.
