Well, you won't find a jig like that in a store! this one was kind of pieced together with a lead head and an old purple jig. We normally use large swimbaits similar to the Panther Martin Vivif, or a large lead head and an 8" Mag Tail grub like the ones Barlow's Tackle sells. Good luck fishing!

tasty fish but even better when let back in the water

@saintangerinc

Yes, most definitely all our trophy fish go back in the water, along with 90% of the rest of the fish we catch. We keep very few, but do enjoy some 3-4 pounders throughout the season!

This particular fish was caught on a 2 oz lead head with a purple rubber tail. We also use blue or white tails and have had success on all of them. This year we also had success later in July using 10oz shads that were designed for Cod fishing in the ocean.

Nice fish...no joke. Shame though that it was on 12 lb test and not higher, huge fish like that tend to use up all their energy in long fights and about 1 in 4 dies from exhaustion within a day after the release, even if it swims away.
