M4TT Posted December 2, 2015 Report Share Posted December 2, 2015 I've been on a somewhat of a dry spell lately and haven't caught anything in my last 8+ outings.. I've been trying dropshot, carolina, and everything and anything i could find. nothing worked. probably my lack of patience... Anyway, went to my local lake this past weekend and decided to throw on a Roboworm EX Shad Swimbait since (like always) nothing else was working.. 1st cast, HOOKUP. caught a nice 3lber. After a few more casts got nothing and went around to another cove where i saw a few 2-4lbers disburse after i walked up. i immediately tossed it toward where they ran off to and BOOM! Hooked up with a pig! 8lbs-ish. The scale i have is pretty shitty (rapala, non-digital from target) but it read at a little over 8lbs. So stoked and never going back to dink fishing again! timcauliffe, Lurejerk, Fishing434 and 6 others 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M4TT Posted December 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2015 Congrats on PB. Hope she put up a good fight for you. Good looking fish. Dude the second i hooked up, i gave it no chance of putting up a fight. Probably fought it for 15-20 seconds tops. I caught it on a carolina rig setup lol. (10b mono on a citica 7.2:1, daiwa 7ft worm rod). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig Posted December 12, 2015 Report Share Posted December 12, 2015 Great fish Matt. I've also recently been hooked on swimbaiting. Its not just a rewarding method but its also great fun to lob and retrieve those adictive baits. Enjoy the ride. wallyc and M4TT 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
