Fishtale? I got one for ya.

I live in the Kansas City, MO area and fish local rivers and lakes. I am lucky that my wife likes fishing as much as I do. We have gone fishing about ten or fifteen times in the past 6 weeks. We have caught more wood then we have caught fish. I think we were able to keep about three fish in that time period. 

That was until I read your article on "jig and pig." I have fished with jigs before and had some luck. But not like this past few days. I read the article this Monday. I went fishing that night and caught five largemouth bass in an hour. Never before in my life have I caught five bass in one night. And these weren't just your average bass either. Three of them were 15.5" and the other two were 14".

My wife, who has never caught a largemouth before, caught three of them. One was a keeper for sure. It was over 16". We went again last night and I pulled in five for largemouth. None were long enough to keep but they sure fought coming in. That is the fun of it. My wife and I have never had so much fun fishing.

I want to thank you for having your article available on the internet for rookies like me to read. I want to go again tonight but I don't want to take all the fish away from everyone else!
