Perhaps - I'm always up for a good challenge. With only a few exceptions, the majority of my home lakes have both lmb & smb. And though I'll be "Targeting" the Big Mouth model, any Mutant Bronzeback that happens along will be deftly netted and displayed most proudly by my personal self. A-Jay

Nice Stripers right there. Congrats A-Jay

That's a Good One. Congrats A-Jay

Thank You very much for the support I really do appreciate it. The Stitching method I was using for the first time in that thread, turned out to be mostly a bust for my home waters. Either that or I'm a hack. Like many of us, I'm still In Pursuit of Giant Bass. Strangely, most of my success has come from south of the border. This season will see me making the big swim bait commitment locally. Have actually considered a thread on it . . . . . . maybe I should. A-Jay

Now THAT'S FUNNY ~ ! ~ ! A-Jay

I going to say this is open to debate - Wide Open. A-Jay

The 2015 fishing season will be All About Swim Baits for me. Should be fun and I'm really looking forward to it. Happy New Year. A-Jay

When one fishes for smallmouth long enough, those days the bite is "off" start to add up. But when the guy with the fly rod discovers that the only thing they'll eat is a Bug, it's a game changer. A-Jay

Wow ~ that's a new one on me. and here's a sporty video telling all about it. I need to get me some ASAP. A-Jay http://shop.zebcobrands.com/zebco/accessories/fish-attractant/boost.html

Wow ~ I guess it was only a matter of time before we hit the 40 inches per turn mark on a fresh water reel. Won't be long - you only need one turn per cast . . . . A-Jay

I started my fishing journey right after Lyndon B. Johnson was elected president in 1964. So it's kind of hard to remember if I was a natural or not. It sure felt natural then & even more so today, fifty years later. A-Jay

I change hooks quite a bit and have tried a few different types & styles. The standard Texas Tackle's SSplit Ring Pliers are a Quality and Effect tool. They cost a little more but they are worth it.

Buying smaller sized skeins of Mono leader material will cost you less as you might not need 2500 yds for Huddleston rigs. Double check your crimp job ensuring it is good and does not damage the line. btw - Nice Hat Shane A-Jay http://www.basspro.com/Ande-Monofilament-Leader-Skeins/product/2355/ http://www.basspro.com/Berkley-Big-Game-Monofilament-Leader/product/71882/
