It started out bad and ended good, got to the , all I had was the 1 I rigged up last night , took about 5 minutes to lose it so I had to go to plan B, bobber & jigs, I know they work but being a virgin I didn't have much confidence, that all changed on the 3rd or 4th cast, FISH ON, fought it for about a min. then fish off , fished for another hour trying various other jigs, nothing, decided to go get something to eat and see if I could find another jig similar to the 1 that broke, found it, back at the river about 10 cast later, FISH ON, a few minutes later a chrome 8-9lbs. winter fish was on the bank and headed for Christmas eve dinner
