Dennis Doty with Nice Ohio Whacky Rig Bass
Dennis says: "I CAUGHT THIS BASS ON A MOTOR OIL GREEN WORM IN ABUT 12 FEET OF WATER. I HAD THE WORM RIGGED UP IN THE WHACKY METHOD OF ATTACHMENT TO THE HOOK. IT WAS THE FIRST TIME I HAD EVER TIRED THIS METHOD OF WORM FISHING. THE POND WAS FREE OF SNAGS AND OBSTRUCTIONS ELIMINATING THE NEED TO RIG WEEDLESS. THIS WAS THE IDEAL SPOT TO TRY THIS METHOD OF RIGGING..
AS THE WORM WAS SLOWLY SINKING TO THE BOTTOM I WOULD JERK IT TO ACTIVATE SOME POSSIBLE ACTION. AS SOON AS IT HIT BOTTOM AND I GAVE IT A FINAL JERK THIS 24" LARGEMOTH BASS INHALED IT. IT WAS A COOL DAY HERE IN OHIO WITH TEMPS FALLING INTO THE MID 50'S. THE SKY WAS SOMEWHAT OVERCAST AND RAIN WAS JUST OVER THE HORIZON.
I CAUGHT ABOUT A DOZEN USING THIS METHOD OF WORM FISHING. I WILL BE USING THIS RIGGING AGAIN IN THE NEAR FUTURE. ALL OF THE BASS WERE RETURNED TO THE WATER TO BE CAUGHT AGAIN SOMEDAY BY ANOTHER HAPPY ANGLER.
