THAT IS SOME GOOD FISH RIGHT THERE AND MIGHTY FINE EATING . CONGRATS .
VFW Lake is a little gem of a TWRA Lake that not many people fish...which is fine by me...LOL. It has some really nice bluegill but only a few know of the quality shell cracker in the lake. I have caught them out of there up to 14 inches....but one can get into a lot of 8-10 inch shell cracker. Today I was headed to Pickwick but due to time constraints decided to fish at VFW...glad I did. I caught these fish where I have caught a lot of shell cracker in the past......and they were in there today. I had several dozen like in the pics. They were caught on a Bison colored Trout Magnet on a 1/16 ounce jig head with #8 hook using 2# test line and my favorite JDM rod....the Tict Ice Cube Rockin' Drift UL 6' 9" with upper section being solid graphite.....made for micro soft plastics.....so for me it is the perfect rod to fish the Trout Magnets. All fish caught using the twitch method keeping the jig as close to bottom as possible. It was a great day of drag pulling fun....life is good!

picked me up some Bison colered trout magnets & caught more bream & bass out of a pond on our land today than i caught in 2yrs. Cant wait to head to a lake to see how they work there
those are some nice redear, as they call em here in Illini land, great fighting fish...drag pullers for sure, no doubt. So still bank fishing?
Great looking fish!
