MISSISSIPPI JIGGING REPORT

[treyfry]

WE CAUGHT ALL THESE ON WILLIAMSON BENTHOS JIGS IN 250-400 FT OF WATER AT THE EXXON RIGS. THE BITE WAS HOT ALL DAY ON THE JIGS. CAUGHT AJS TILL WE COULDNT REEL ANYMORE. I THINK THE WAHOO WAS MY FAVORITE FISH TO EVER CATCH ON A JIG. ON THE WAY IN WE STOPPED TO LOOK FOR LING AND SAW A HUGE WHALE SHARK ABOUT 25 MILES OUT AND CAUGHT THE LING OUT FROM UNDER HIM. THE WHALE SHARK KEPT COMING UP OUT OF THE WATER AND LEANING HIS HEAD ON THE BACK OF THE BOAT JUST LOOKING AT US. IT WAS REALLY COOL WE ALL GOT TO TOUCH HIM A LOT, HE STAYED AROUND OUR BOAT FOR ABOUT AN HOUR WHICH WAS GREAT CAUSE THERE MUST HAVE BEEN 50 COBIA UNDER HIM.

Pretty work on your fish. We were looking at coming down there this week, but I think NC is going to give us a much better window.

Good gracious... that is a haul! Would love to bang some wahoo on jigs. Amazing catch.

Those cobes didnt look to impressive until the pic where your holding it up! YIKES! (is that from the same group?) Did you get any pics of the whale shark?

Who was so hungry they could wait til shore to start in on the blackfin? What was doing the nibbling?
