Lil' Shaka and I went fishing yesterday. The Big Mama that you see in the photo was a 4.5 pounder. This is one of the biggest fish I've caught in the last year, and definitely one of the biggest I've caught at one of our favorite ponds. The wacky rig with the Yum Dingers has proven to be an unbelievable combination for catching bass right now for us.
Lil' Shaka got into the action as well. He set some goals for this session. The first goal was to become comfortable with the Ugly Stick bait caster I bought for him some time ago. It is a heavy power and fast action rod, and I think a 6'6 or 7 foot rod. He was casting his lure, and I noticed he was doing it with little to no backlash.
His second goal was to try and catch a bass on a wacky rig. Well, he accomplished his second goal as well by catching not one, but three different bass on the wacky rig that day!
In terms of the environment we were fishing in, the water was warm as it was around 87 or 88 degrees out and sunny. The water was very clear, but the pond had a lot of grass and weeds. It was fun to watch him hit his goals on this day!
