A couple basic questions about soft plastics and slower presentations
I personally think that what plastic you use can make a huge difference. there are many different factors like rate of fall, action, bulk, color, and scent. Catt also knows a lot about the differences between different plastics.

me and my friend are gonna go and hook some bass
in about 45 minutes me and my friend are going down to one of my favorite spots to hook some nice largemouth. this will be one of his first times fishing. I will use a jig and ragecraw and he will use a wacky rigged four inch finesse worm. I will try to update with pictures if he brings his camera.

jig making?
what do I need for making flippin jigs? I'm thinking some poison tail jig heads, some round rubber(black, blue, and brown), some weedguards, some powder paint, and some saltwater grade fly tying thread.

When do plastics in 'non-traditional' colors work best?
I've always heard of using red rattle traps in the spring and have used them with some success. do you think the craws turn red in most bodies of water in america?

Winter time bass fishing
I picked up some denny brauer 3x magnum chunks for winter jig fishing because they don't have too much action. some of the articles on bass resource say to use bigger lures for winter and some say to use smaller lures. I plan on nose hooking these on 1/2 ounce flippin jigs. the trailers are about four inches long.

Castnetters destroying BASS....
many times it's not that the authorities don't have enough officers it's just that they don't care. never has a park police man actually come to arrest people who are illegaly keeping fish when I have called them even though they said they would come and arrest them. I personally believe that all gamefish should be illegal to keep and that there should be major fines for keeping them. though thats my opinion.

The Lake Giveth, The Lake Taketh Away
wow, i've got to get into throwing big swimbaits, not four inch basstrix ;D. I have just noticed how big the fish get where I fish after landing a 7 pounder yesterday. so two pounders will strike 8 inch plus swimbaits?

what's the secret swimbait?

Got a fish @ Greatfalls National park
that was a walleye. was the guy you talked to bottom fishing and carrying a bucket? those people aren't usually the best source of information.

How big before you HAVE to keep it and mount it.
never, i release all that I catch.

Big Bass baits
Interesting fact but That really proves nothing as far as what works best for big fish though. Swimbaits haven't been popular very long and alot of trophy fisherman throwing the really big stuff aren't keeping 13 pounders for studies. It proves the fact that Big Baits don't mean big bass; aside from swim baits the #1 big bass bait may well be a jig but think about it a jig-n-craw aint but 4 maybe 5 in length. I think that the reason that only nine share lunkers were caught on 8+ inch baits is because most people don't use baits that big because they don't have confidence in them. i don't know though because I just caught my biggest bass yesterday and it was on a big white spinnerbait near a creek channel loaded with wood.

Castnetters destroying BASS....
I hate it when people do that. the best thing to do is scream at them until they release the fish and then scream at them a little more. It always works. though you should always do it under adult supervision.

strike king perfect plastics?
have any of you guys tried the new coffee scented perfect plastics by strike king? I picked up some of the ochos and they feel very soft and stretchy just like they were hand poured. I can't wait to try them out.
