O man lots of "horses" as Al Linder would say. Sometimes the lighting is just right and the markings show up real good. Seems like after some fish have been in the livewell they get some tats then. Heres a couple that I thought looked good.

NICE. Here is one like it small but PRETTY.

Who's fishing waters hold the most beautiful Smallies? This may have been done before but I love to see those tattooed up fish.

10-4 I'm on it.

O forgot the best part part. Nothing but a Uncle Josh pork trailer.

I say use what you have confidence in. I just don't get the hair jig deal but to each his own. I fish a 5/16 ball jig, weedless, gourd green with some blue or purple.

I'm in the same boat as you Jig Man, my home lake has big smallies but they are very hard to catch. I can break the 4-5# range only in the winter. All the things you read on smallies say deep but I think that depends on the lake, on my home lake the water is very rich with plankton so its not uncommon to catch fish very shallow year around even in the winter. I catch my biggest fish in the winter just fishing for one bite. I fish a spoon in the winter, it took some time to build confidence in the bait but when I do get bit its really a good one.

This is a good one. Crestliner's technique sounds like how I fish a jig in the spring. I wonder how the blade v/s a spoon ripped off the bottom all the way to the boat would turn out? I fish a spoon like that when the water gets cold. I guess you could do the same with a trap?

Now the other pic. this one makes the fish look small. It was a very nice smallie "for me"

The pic trick is a funny thing. Here is the same fish in two different pics.

I can tear up anything, if there is anything wrong with your product I WILL FIND IT. Then after I test it and we get the kinks worked out you can release it to the public with my name on the packaging. this is not a joke, I WILL TEAR YOUR TEST PROTOTYPE SMOOTH UP.

VERY NICE

N.E. Oklahoma here and no I'm not a sooner fan.
