Several years ago I went to a small pond (less than 5 acres). Only to discover I had left my Jig box at the house. Ticked me off as I intended to fish for Crappie & Bluegill. But as all good fishermen at the end of the day on previous day I hadn't put some of the Jigs in the proper place. I hunted thru my tackle bag and came up with a few jigs. Few cast and caught a hand sized Bluegill. was skittering it across the surface when a decent sized Bass grabbed the Bluegill. Didn't have much hope of landing the Bass as the hook gap on a 1/16 oz jig is not very wide.. I was standing on a dock and noticed when the Bass seen the dock he let go of the Bluegill, but another Bass that was following him. It grabbed the Bluegill and I opened the bail on the open faced spinning reel and let him run bout 30 feet. Closed the bail and when the line came tight, set the hook and the Bluegill popped off and hooked the Bass.. Landed the Bass and weighed it on digital scale 2 lb 15 oz. That was fun !
