Big-O

WTG Paul, I figured you've been fishing when you had the time! Nice ones Pal ; ) www.ragetail.com

Yep, she's post spawn, plenty healthy and caught her in 14' or so. I've been finding fish from super skinny to butterball fat recently and sure it's all about their feeding habits and/or overall health. Surface temps from mid to high 80's and all are spawned out. My favorite time of year! BTW, using 25lb Vicious ProElite fluoro in these clear conditions and it's GOOD STUFF! www.ragetail.com

Fishing shallow early and late has beenand deep in the hottest condirions has been most productive for me in recent weeks. We're in full blown Summer patterns here in Tx now... www.ragetail.com

Good Stuff Mitch... WTG! www.ragetail.com

Bad Girls - Bad Girls whatcha gonna do Dragging a Jig n Rage Craw off a ledge got her attention and she made me work to keep her out of the trolling motor! I think she deserved a PHOTO... Whatcha Think www.ragetail.com

WOW, those are some real FATTIES! WTG www.ragetail.com

WTG and sounds like a "REEL" Girl friend to me Those fish are healthy looking too! www.ragetail.com

WTG and nice photos. I've always enjoyed Florida's light colored sands and clear water conditions too! www.ragetail.com

I'll guess the weight... Heavy enough to make a smile on anyones face WTG! www.ragetail.com

And a GREAT trip it was for all of you! The smiles on their faces tells the story "just fine", WTG and you're a terrific DAD... www.ragetail.com

Beautiful Brownies and WTG! www.ragetail.com

"The Mermaid of Germantown Pond" And we can only fantasize of her shape, size and beauty... Our Brother RW was swooned by her so we can always tell this story from a close personal perspective.... Battles of that type need to be captured on video but then again, maybe with this encounter it's only right that she disappeared back to the deep with only a memory and a song, WTG RW I love these battles and stories too! www.ragetail.com

Another Jig a Maniac in the making and WTG on your 1st nice jig Catch! www.ragetail.com

LOL, Shows are WORK and Fishing is FUN... I'm old and not that interested in WORK any longer, JUST FUN But thanks for your comments www.ragetail.com

Great post and glad you two had so much fun! www.ragetail.com

Those are beautiful fish and their coloration is cool too, WTG! www.ragetail.com

Hehehe, I'm gonna bust that pedestal stem AGAIN and wind up in the water AGAIN It seems that I have to get back on'em and I've always referred to the total body and rod bowing in unison as my "Got WINCH" move. I like your term as well It has been responsible for more than a few sore areas for me One rainy morning, I'd forgot to extend the pedestal up into the elevated position and when I leaned back on a hook set... the seat struck me across the back of the legs causing my feet slip out in front! I eloquently performed a back flip over the seat and into the water, after bouncing off the side of the boat My partner gave me a "10" on form and a "2" on the rest He penalized me for the boat crashing and the excessive splash www.ragetail.com

You're a FINE Friend to all of those folks and I promise that they appreciated your generosity and time. I wish that all of us who are so passionate for fishing could find the time to donate a little time each year to make others happy like you have Kudos to YOU and I wish the very BEST for your Future as well!!! www.ragetail.com

Hey Friends, here's our 2nd Bass Slinging video called, "Winch'em OUT II" Getting this HatCam footage was a CRAZY Fun because there was no reason for small talk, discussing the weather or presentation style because it was OBVIOUS Flippin' Clear conditions and Pitchin' for Porkers I think it's about as much fun as a person can have with clothes on The Rage Hawg ruled the Day and torqued my St. Croix RAGE Rods to the limit! I did catch 1 on the Smokin Rooster when I missed her 1st hit on the Hawg. It's always smart to have some back up when that happens Turn up the Volume and Hope you enjoy... www.ragetail.com [media=]

Kylek and Bassin Lou, for sure I run into my share of skaters too, but not on purpose The next video Winchem OUT II, will have a few smaller sizes flying around on the hook sets with one hurling into the boat from 15 yrds away... but there are several real Smokers on this footage as well. Trying to press for it to be finished and I'll post it up! www.ragetail.com

It's actually the same profile size of standard hog baits on the market but with a slightly smaller diameter body section. This allows a slightly quicker fall rate and when pinching the length down from a possible torn head section leaving a shorter overall length, the bait still appears longer because of it's slim figure. T rig, C rig, or a long profile Jig trailer are the more popular ways to rig it. The Rage Rig with a 1/8 to 3/8 weighted hook is a presentation that you shouldn't overlook either, I use it often over submerged grass or in shallow conditions. You can fish it extremely slow like a T rig or swim it as well. www.ragetail.com

Your decision to just fish and enjoy your time on the water is one of the most important factors when it appears that the GAME has changed To get overly anxious is a big deterrent for making quality decisions and it obviously paid off for you and your partner... Congrats and keep it going! www.ragetail.com

Excellent and great SMILE on that fine young man www.ragetail.com

Your comment "Caught a bunch between the three of us about the size of the left fish, it was a great time." says it ALL... and congrats on a fine day! www.ragetail.com

YES AMEN BRUTHA I think that's AWESOME RW and glad you had such a fine experience with that Big Gal! www.ragetail.com
