Hit morey pond from 8-1. Started on the front side with nothing to show for it, so we moved to the depths of the other side. Fished 10-12fow with jigs, creatures, and worms with, once again, nothing to show for it. We moved to the shade and on my first cast I land this chunk:

It was about 2lbs, but it would have went 1.5lbs if it didn't eat.

We kept working our way down the shore and I picked off a 1lbr on the jig. <1fow in the weeds. The only thing they would take was the black/blue jig. No bites on the wacky worm or creature. Just as we were about to leave, I feel a tiny bite and I see my line moving. I set the hook only to find slack, so I reeled up and I feel a fish, but before I could get a good hookset, it takes a blazing run to the side of the boat and it comes off. Had to be 3-4lbs. Sad

If anyone goes there, bring about 20 extra jig trailers because those pickerel will tear them up. Mad

Davoforty,

That bulge in the middle of the fish looks like the exact size of a baseball. If I twisted the fish around 90 degrees it looked like a baseball was in there. It was definitely one of the fattest fish I've ever landed. Very Happy
