Water Temp: 75 Degrees
Team Bassmasters had a tournament at Candlewood lake. All of us expected a massacre on the lake but we worked for our fish. Those of us that caught fish had good numbers while others struggled to find fish. I managed 2 fish, one on a crankbait and the other on a jig. I had a third on a jig but I had no clue the fish was on the jig until I reeled the jig back to the boat. As I worked that jig I decided to reel the jig back to the boat for another cast. With absolutely zero weight or pull, I assumed my jig was coming back to the boat untouched. Little did I know a fish was swimming with the jig in his mouth. By the time I set the hook we saw each other and the jig came out the mouth.
The jig fish that did come to weigh-in to take pictures (3.71 LBS):
