    Hit the water this morning in search of the elusive summer time slab. Figured I'd do a little spider rigging over some brush tops. Just got my poles set when my #8 pole rigged with a pink Arkie jig head and a Bailles special Mid South tube had a good thump. I quickly grabbed that foam handle on my 14 foot pole and got the best battle I've had from a fish in years!

    After several minutes of line stripping and slow retrieving, I reached down and grabbed my trophy!!



    First time I've ever caught a spoonie on a crappie pole

      Very interesting catch, we catch lots of catfish on jigs, but no spoonies yet.

      They feed on plankton, I'm surprized it took a jig. Nice catch

      WHOA.... nothing quite like a surprise when fishing. I have heard about paddlefish but never caught one. Sturgeon are taste good but dont know about paddlefish. Nice Picture...

      A nice catch and had to be a fun pull on a 14'er.
