Not to play devil's advocate, but what about big t's like bassmasters and FLW? They seem to keep fish out of the water holding them up in the air for quite some time for pictures and the likes. In addition, I've always wondered about the fish after each T we fish. Do they make it? I mean, I really love this sport and try to do everything I can to preserve it by taking care of the fish I catch.

Bass are very aggressive fish. If they'll eat ducklings (saw this one, no kidding), they'll eat anything in my opinion. A friend of mine caught a 10lber out of a private lake with a small snake sticking 1/2 the way out of its mouth, so like I said, they'll eat anything!

If Senko's are getting expensive, I agree with other posters, try some knock offs. I use a soft bait that I get at a local Wal-Mart called "Edge Speedfall". They are $2.96 for 20 pack. Seem to fall like a Senko, but they have a little more density and durability. Give them a try if you can find them.

I'm as green as you! [glb]GREEN[/glb] ;D ;D ;D ;D

I too have worried about sunscreen. I used to put on sunscreen via rub in method, lean over boat, wash my hands in the water, spray tons on fish scent on my hands, rub it in, and again wash in water. Then I would apply another dose of fish spray. Looked like a darn fool. Anyway, now I buy the sport spray on sunscreen that you don't have to rub in and it doesn't even get on your hands. Here's what I get http://www.coppertone.com/product.aspx?prodid=34 and I'm not a spokesman or anything! ;D However the kind I buy at Wally World is in a blue container.
