Christmas Pig

Well, 2 days before, anyway.

Went out on Zoar (2 minutes from home) yesterday for a few hours. Calm,
foggy and 55 degrees! How could I resist? Water was 39 degrees.

I spent 4 hours alternating between my trusty drop shot rig and a heavy
jig, fishing my best late season spot there. Had one bite in 4 hours.
Caught a stone cold pig in 18 to 20 feet or so, on the black 5/8 ounce
jig with a black Lunker City Piggy Back Trailer. Weighed 7-12 according
to the berkely. Unfortunately, I had left the camera in the drybox of
the boat for a week, and although there was no fogging visible on the
lens or the view screen, something optical in the innards was all fogged
up, and my time-delay self photos all came out pretty much blank white.
The first one was the only one you can even tell there's a fish in, and
it's pretty cruddy. FWIW --
