Ended up with a very nice finish to the weekend. Had a couple of hours Sunday evening so I shot over to Cedar. The fishing was very slow,..only a couple of 1-lbers on a dropshot worm spread out over 2 hours so I decided to call it a night. I began to make my way back to the ramp alternating between a swimbait and a jig,...and then on what I had decided was gonna be one of the last casts of the evening, I got the faintest little tick on my jig. I swung hard and whiffed completely! Nothing but slack line,..so I reeled up and noticed that my line was still moving toward me so I swung again and this time connected with this beauty that went 6.0 lbs even!

Very nice! So you barely even noticed the hit huh...? I will have to make sure to pay attention to every little bump and nudge... Sometimes its hard though the weeds throw me off....

I was actually pulling it through some hydrilla and was not sure it was a fish,....when in doubt, ALWAYS SET THE HOOK!! After a number of years of fishing jigs as my main bait, I have gotten very good at sensing the bites.....but you will still see me swinging at stuff that is not a fish (sometimes having to dodge jigs that come whipping back at me!  ) If I have another person in the boat, they always ask "did you have a bite?" I just say "nope,..just making sure!"
My best advice is to never wonder whether something is a fish,...just set the hook and find out for sure!!
