Jerkbait Bragging Rights

[ozarkgunner]

I love fishing the megabass in water that is close to freezing. Every year I get my biggest bass of the year on jerkbaits in the middle of winter. I propose a bragging right photo contest. Biggest jerkbait fish ( bass or walleye) from today until March 1. Any takers?

A couple of days go but not now.... A friend of a friend had a 9# greenie at Pom on a jerk.

I think you have a good idea and if I get a good jerker I'll post a pic.

So how much money does it take to enter this derby and how will you verify the weight? Or is this just a fun thing?

Just fun

I caught a 6 pounder in mid December at LOZ Gravois Arm on a Megabass jerkbait! Photo now attached!

Very good fish! Only a matter of time before a larger one though.

I agree that a 6 will not be tops. Just my best.

I have caught one about that size the last 3 years on a jerkbait at the LOZ. This was a few ounces bigger, technically my best winter fish on a big lake. I had a 7.07 on a jig in a 3 acre pond on February 20, 2011. That was one of those 65*F windy days. Hooked and lost one that I could not turn in a big laydown about a half hour later on the same jig. Never saw it. Maybe this year I can beat a 6 pounder myself.
