Went out to the pond for a couple of hours this morning..temp in upper 60's,dark and cloudy and there was a periodic light drizzle throughout the morning..Started out tossing a wacky rigged Senko with an o-ring to preserve the bait..within the first 10 minutes of my trip I tossed the senko next to one of my favorite laydowns and I felt something lightly take the bait..my line starts to move slowly maybe 15-20 inches..something is definitley there! then I felt the gulp! I apply the hook,FISH ON!my drag starts to peel as this hawg takes off in full throttle!this thing was a beast!it gave me a good 30 second fight and I was just getting it close to the bank when the bass decides to make a move for it!it takes off like a jet to the left with all its might and this fish was strong!my drag starts to squeel as it was literally pulling me around the bank!then it makes a jump for it about 1 ft out of water and spits my senko right back at me! AHHHH! I yelled as I stood there clueless for like a minute straight! I got a very good look at it and it was definitley pushing 5 pounds+!big ol'mouth! ah it was fun fighting it though!twice in a row ive had this problem with the o-ring on the senko..it really does preserve the bait bigtime but the hook-up ratio is no bueno!2 days ago I lost 4 bass in a row using the o-ring on the senko..I mean once in awhile a bass shakes off the wacky rig when I didnt use the o-ring so maybe its just coincidental..anyone else have that problem with the o-ring?any advice?one thing I notice with the o-ring is when you place the hook through the ring the hook is horizontal to the worm and without the ring the hook is vertical to the worm..anyhow I took the o-ring off for the rest of the trip and I did catch one much smaller bass about an hour later
