Hawg, you will not be disappointed by that choice. I tried the magnum finesse worms and did quite well! On cloudy overcast days black or redbug did well and on clear sunny days houdini was the ticket. I really can't say enough about how good this worm has been this year!

This Is NOT a preaching moment...........Nor Is It a sympathy thread... Informational only! I made a response In another thread and for whatever reason thought I might start this thread In hopes that If one (1) person can benefit then a few of the detractors that are sure to respond will not matter. I openly admitted to having a problem with alcohol in another thread and while I was fully functional in day to day tasks it certainly had a negative Impact on my life. I gained a massive amount of weight, spent a ton of money weekly, and while I fulfilled my responsibilities both personally and professionally, my life was centered around that next drink. To spare a good many details I'll share the one that changed my life for good. I was heading home from a night out and passed out behind the wheel. I crossed over the medium and awoke just before seeing the guard rail. I slammed on the breaks before I hit. It was not only terrifying but so Incredibly irresponsible that God only knows why It wasn't fatal, not only for me but others. The next morning I thought about this and realized I was more fortunate than I deserved to be. I also thought about this; almost every time I have had bad things happen In my life, they were all directly related to substance abuse. I had quit before(once for six years) but this was the moment that took hold of me to realize enough was enough. If I have a beer every few months that's a lot and thankfully I have the strength to only have one. The point of this Is If anyone here has been thinking they might have a problem please do something about It. I know It may be a lifestyle and you may have to find yourself allover again, but take it from someone who knows this as an absolute truth: It's worth being shunned by the folks you thought were friends for a life that Is more meaningful, satisfying, and more than anything, finding your true self.

I'm not going to the game but have a (somewhat) vested Interest In the game as Seattle has three(3) N.C. State alums starting. Starting QB Russel Wilson, Offensive lineman J.R. Sweezy, and the kicker Steven Hauschka. Go 'Hawks!

Precursor : this Is not to take away from the current theme of the thread. I, In my younger years, was a functional problem drinker. I quit entirely for six years, started back and after gaining 55 lbs. (enjoyed the fire out of the social aspect) I finally decided to cut back so much that to this day If I tip an alcoholic beverage It's a lot to have more than a few beers every couple of months. AJ... Nice work! The longevity alone Is admirable!

Butts..... 12 hours.... slow smoked( As y'all know).... I prefer mesquite but Hickory Is durn good also...... On the rare occasion I grill chicken I have always been partial to smoke them with peach. On a different note, when I go home to see family on the coast, I truly love to smoke some Bluefish and fry roe of some sort. I serve that with stone ground grits, fried cornbread, greenbeans, and either beer of tea. Edit: The rub of choice for me Is Corky's out of Memphis or a store bought brand called Buttrub.

If I could clone "one" bait It would be a Zoom 4" dead ringer in Pumpkin Green. They no longer make that color. It simply caught fish. For nostalgia's sake; I wish Bill Normans Snatrix plastic worm was still in production. It was the first plastic worm I caught a bass with, fond memories to be sure. Black Grape would be my color of choice.

Nice fish! Welcome!

Siebert Outdoors brush jig... 1/4 and 3/8. I really like the bluegill color and in the Spring through the shad spawn a shad color. At night black/red.

Nice fish Clayton! I would have been tempted to take some home and have a fish fry.

I keep them In the original bags and take what I need from the fishing closet and place the bags in the side pockets of my tackle bag. I also put a few bags of what I expect to start with in the mesh front outside pocket.
