Bitsy bug jig has worked the best for me...

I am going to try some things listed here! Thanks guys.

I won't be buying a 70 dollar bird at any point in the foreseeable future haha. I was just curious ^ This... $70?

I was thinking the same thing. Some good points though.

You can always use one more rod & reel setup! ;D

Mine has not produced but my other Blue Fox inlines work well. Normally I will setup my kids with inlines when they start to get bored. They have caught some dandys!

Solid list In no particular order: Robert Plant Ronnie James Dio Ozzy Osbourne James Hetfield (before he quit drinking) Brent Smith or Myles Kennedy Note that these are based on vocal talent not Front Man skills or I would have to update my list.

Welcome to the best fishing site on the planet.

Nice fish and pic!

Lately? Thumper... Historically GYCB 5" Senko Weightless? Yum Dinger or Zoom Trick Worm

I have one... AVC70MHF. There is a huge difference between it and let's say an Ugly Stick. Look at it this way... Your fishing will improve.

Great fish and great pics as always! LC Pointer still producing for me BTW.

Solid choice for sure. Vendetta also a possible in that range...

Depends on the size of the jerk bait. The small ones I just use a loop knot. For cranks I like to use a snap until I discover the color / depth I need to be at.

I got 30# fireline on sale earlier this year and its worked out great... I have braid on all setups now although I used InvisX #12 for most of the season on my BC. Once you try braid on a bottom contact setup its tough to go back. PP = cheap Suffix = Super Strong albeit airplane cable Fireline = Nice combo of the two I do have to admit that a spool of Daiwa is inbound.

Were those taken in the 70's? JK Pics have a real old school feel to them. Did I mention... AWESOME FISH!

Awesome!!!

Decided on the Winch... I can always sell it next year if I don't like. Should be here early next week. Just in time for the end of the season.

Would have to agree... Pointer is an amazing bait. Blue gill, ghost minnow 78 and 100s are incredible for bass. Caught a bunch this morning as a matter of fact.

Good Lord. Nice Fish!!!

Rapala tail dancer... <-- Awesome lure for eyes. Grubs also great.

Kind of off topic but what size are you using for Pike? XR12? I've actually had the best luck on XR10... Now XR12 in Yellow Perch is an excellent lure for the toothy critters.

Gammy snagless tube weight with a 3/0 EWG hook is tough to beat. Had some bad luck with Venom hooks... Mine must have been made on a Friday.

Yeah... Been thinking about that one for a bit. Was thinking $200 total but we'll see.

LOL Thanks guys. My local shop carries some Revos so I'll check that out. The Zillion is slightly out of my price range ATM.
