I'm a little uncertain as to exactly which one I have here. It was sold to me as a 9", but the package is marked as "Large" and it certainly looks from my picture like it could easily be 5" bigger than the 7" purple nitro I put next to it. Next to the tape, it's well short of 12" though. As a general guideline: • "Small" is 7" long and weighs 1.75oz • "Medium" is 9" long and weighs 3oz • "Large" is 12" long and weighs 4.5oz.

Welcome!

Yeah he had the smoke rolling off his knobby tires.

To me it does, it's a dark red whereas Junebug is decidedly purple.

Fished Mound City for a few hours this morning. Slammer was good for awhile, bladed jig bite was pretty good over what grass I could find which was way more sparse than in past years, and that was about it. No flipping bite to speak of, just very randomly catch one here or there, maybe 5 or 6 total and only 1 off wood. No big ones but lots of good quality fish.

I tried a spool of 10lb several years ago and it was some of the thickest, hardest to manage 10lb line I've ever bought. I fished it for about 5 cast before I put the rod up and stripped it off when I got back home and threw it all away. I've heard so many good things but that left me with such a bad taste in my mouth that I'm afraid to try it again.

Well, I really wanted a 7" white slammer, but the one I finally found was a 9" so I went for it anyways. The 9" Slammer is WAY bigger than a 7" Slammer.

I catch lots of fish on a 7" Slammer and a majority of them are 1.5-3 pounds. 2 of several from this morning.

That's great!

Welcome!

Welcome!

Lake was really excited to be able to ride his bike on asphalt instead of gravel for a change.

Plum-apple and redbug are 2 of my very favorite worm colors. If I had to pick, ,I'd rather have redbug over watermelon as long as I got green pumpkin for my other color. Not sure I own any junebug worms.

I haven't had near the success with the regular cutter.

2008 Toyota Tundra SR5. Truck has 134k miles on it, made my last payment on it last month ?

I really was, click on the video I posted above, I linked it just before I'm in the video so you don't have to suffer through the rest for the 20 seconds I'm in it.

Not ashamed to say, but as much as I've thrown them, I don't believe I've ever put a single fish in the boat on a Fat Ika.

My last 3 reel baitcaster purchases have been a Tatula 100, Tatula SV TW 103HS, and a Tatula 150. If I had $50 off, I'd be adding another Tatula.

I'm about as complete opposite of them as you can get. I forget to turn the camera on half the time in my videos anyways.

A Strike King Bitsy Flip is a great little jig that is easy to find, pretty inexpensive, comes in the basic colors, and flat out catches fish. They were a big part of my beginning in learning how to fish a jig.

I had a brief stint in one of Flair's videos in a 3vs2 tournament. My favorite part was when I told him what "our" (I use that term very loosely as I was paired with his 2 buddies that contributed nothing to our total), weight and it was more than theirs, it was "might have beaten us". I'm not the smartest guy, but if one number is bigger than the other in a weight based fishing competition, the person with the heavier weight has won, no "might have" to it.

I fish the same jigs from shore as I do from a boat minus the heavy football jigs I'd fish on deep offshore structure.

I'm very interested in trying one, but I don't know that I'd fish it more than the Strike King Mega Dawg.

If it's a quality underspin it will. It should have a BB swivel that will spin at almost any speed as long as you have the right balance of weight/blade/and bait on it.
