The hardest part I found before I did a "look at and see what I can figure out study in my bathtub with clear water" was when they sink to the bottom, they nose down and tail up. Giving to the reason of the flat portion on the bottom in the front. A very good indication of where the eye tie...

This is a lipless crank I did a year or so ago, right ater I applied the epoxy. I know the picture isnt the greatest, did it from a cell phone. It has 2 ton epoxy non yellowing on it and have crashed this thing into rocks to see how it would hold up. Turned out better then I expected. But to be...

This is all in a little over a weeks time. There was several more that were caught, but no pictures taken of them. All between 13" up to 20" largemouth bass caught on scum frogs and spro frogs. My wife and I are racing to see who could catch the biggest L.M.. She had the win for about 2 days...

Ive seen a few split bottom lips in Soouthern WI.. Kinda creepy, they can move one side down and the other side up. I assumed it was from hooking way to hard or feeding in rocks. They can get pretty nasty when they hit prey in rocks.

For the low end, Pinnacle is decent. What model did you get? I have a Pinnacle Solene SLP10 I have owned for over 4 years. I run 50# braid on it with no digging in issues. Over kill? I dont think so because I fish a lot of lillypads and heavy weeds with some pretty big bass that love to run deep...

Have you ever tried the Improved Clinch Knot? A whole lot easier and faster then trying to tie an extra knot or two on braided line. Im just asking. It is so simple to pass the tag end through the loop after the eye pass, put a little spit on it then pull tight. Never had one pull even with big...

I like the Scum Frogs with white background and green coloring added and SPRO BronzeyeFrog65 Green Pumpkin and black ones, both frogs are double hooked. I personally feel it is a lot better hook up with double hooks. I just tried the Koppers Live Target and the first fish tore open the opening...

Oh, here is the way I look at my time on it. I dont count it as it is my time. I am redoing it for me. If your a business, then that is a different story as you have labor costs etc.. But for yourself, no, dont look at it that way. It is for you so there is no price on your labor for yourself...

Lets break it down. Just a standard plain jane TRACKER Guide V-14 Deep V starts around $1700. Thats just a boat, nothing else, no motor, no troller, no anchor, no trailer, nothing. You had one given to you, so right off the bat your up $1700. Check for leaks, tally up what it would cost for...

Yeah I didnt see anywheres that they can achieve 24'. 12' is about it, but rare. Maybe a million years or so ago they achieved enormous size. I also noticed on https://www.hoax-slayer.com/broken-bow-gar.shtml there is some controversy over this gar pictured. Glad you got it cleared up, that...

Bass if large enough you could just fillet, crappie, same thing, just fillet and then dice about 1" cubes or what ever you want. Bake, fry, deep fry. To many ways you can make them, they are all pretty much good.

OK, so compared to the big guy above, here is my little 31" Northern Pike I caught today. :LOL2:

I went fishing today and my wife told me to bring back a big one, so I landed a 31" Northern. The little pot licker broke my pole so I brought him home to eat to get even! He is actually arching himself off the ground, but yes he is 31". All muscle and a very big attitude. Made some awesome...

You can actually type into the internet browser, "Wacky Rig", "Texas Rig", "Carolina Rig", "Weedless Jig Rig" and click Images at top left of page and look at some of the different setups people have on there. You could also type in "bass fishing" and read up on some of the setups that are out...

Here is something to think bout: I read most of this when I was a kid and wanted to catch more Bass. Another thing about fish, is they can see you even if you cant see them. There vision is all messed up. I read an article once about this, in darker water rivers, a bass for example can see up...
