yeah we figured it was a catfish, being that color, all but 5 or 6 of the fish we caught today were on 3/8oz jigs my buddy lost 5 of my jigs! i was a little grumpy at him and told him next time he comes out he'd better bring heavier line
be ready to be disappoined with continually catched 4-5pounders
i tried throwing the swimbaits a bit today, but it hurts my hand to much to cast that much still, it's easier just to fling the jig outand hope you like to fish into nasty cover because we got tons of it
fishing in the heavy stuff is "my thing" i will feel right at home, that might be a bad thing for the bass.
The old quarry ponds are the best for big fish IMHO, the ones along the willamette are all loaded with big craws which the bass love to gobble up.
Isn't the Ballenger pond an old gravel pit? That's where the state record came from. Also, last year, me and FP saw some huge bass swimming in an old gravel pit near the river.
