We need to quit talking about the Griffon. . If there is any Killer pink Griffons out there that need a good home, tell me! The Griffons will always be in my boat. lol. Griffons suck. Don't buy them. Put them on Ebay for a 'buy it now' of like $2, and I'll think about taking them off your hands because I'm a nice guy...

I love the Megabass Griffon in Crack Jungle (crack lime over a clear body with an orange belly). I fished it like crazy this year, and it produced every single time. I also get a lot of fish on the RC1.5 in Blue Back/Chartreuse color. Splatterback is a great color too. Those two cranks are must haves for me from now on.

I think he went out of business......I tried to contact him a while back and he never would respond (and his eBay store is gone.) Hey guys, regarding Catching Concepts. I spoke with the guy thru ebay and he will be listing things at his ebay store again soon....

I bought a bunch on clearance from Gander, and love them. Way better than a toothpick, or the screw in weights. They also have them in tungsten.

I've seen that guys lures on ebay too. I like that popper eating the fish.

Cultiva Tango Dancer. Easiest bait to walk ever. I bought a bunch on ebay a few years ago when they were pretty cheap. Great colors, Owner Hooks, I can't recommend this bait enough. Be careful on Ebay when searching for these, there is a chinese seller than has a crankbait listed as a tango dancer...

Both, looking at quality over what the bait is made of. Usually quality means a little pricier, but not always...Bandits are dirt cheap and catch a ton of fish. My favorite wooden baits are Old Bagley Baits, H&T Balsa baits, Rapala DTs and Catching Concept Cedar baits. My favorite plastic cranks are Megabass, Rapala Glass series, and Bandit 100s. They all produce. I will typically throw a wooden bait into heavier submerged cover because their buoyancy helps prevent hangups. I will murder rip rap with plastic baits because they stand up better and get a better sound off the rocks.

Correct. The picture is actually the Whomper Stomper version of the Bug N Bass, but close enough. Your turn to post a pic!

I have used the Silver Buddy, which is kind of like a crankbait, with success on Sea Trout and Bluefish in the Chesapeake.

Did I kill the lure quiz? My hint is you'll catch a whopper with this.

Looks pretty cool: http://www.mindalures.com/Pages/injuredMinda.htm

Bueler? Bueler?

Killer B1 or B2 are both very nice. I also like the square lipped balsa b's, especially the ones where it has two line ties for a different wobble effect. Hard to find though.

I haven't found anything worth my time on craigslist yet.

I have two of the Newer Bagley Suspending KB2s. They are OK, but nothing special. I want to try the Rapala Shad Rap RS, but I'm trying to take it easy on buying tackle.

Here it is. Probably easy, but it took me a while to identify it. I bought one just like this at an estate auction recently.

Cool, I'll find a pic and list it...

Chatterbaits. Ikas. Gulp. Basstrix-Type Swimbaits.

Heddon Jointed King Basser?

I would vote for RW before ANY idiot we currently have in Washington.

I'm from South Philly, and have eaten Geno's and Pat's about 100 times. Geno's has a slight edge I think... But there are a ton of places that I think beat both of those well known places. There is a place on 9th St in the Italian market that serves them out of a tiny window that kicks ol Geno and ol Pat right in the teeth... Can't remember the name of the place, but follow your nose if you're near 9th and Christian St. Reading Terminal near center city has a few places that are better than the 'big two' as well...

There are a lot of good tips on what to do with cast-netters and seine netters over in this thread: http://www.bassresource.com/bass_fishing_forums/YaBB.pl?num=1224541772 Just replace stray cats with cast netters, and there you go...

LMAO! I have seen every single one of those at Walmart except for someone giving away kittens.

I got the flu about six years and it seriously kicked my butt for almost 6 weeks. I was a week in bed, so dizzy and feverish that I couldn't get up at all. After that week, I was dizzy and achy for over a month after that. It was the worst thing I've ever had, and I've had broken ribs, both legs broken, chronic asthma since I was 2 (now 37), pneumonia twice, and mononucleosis - all of which are pretty serious and debilitating - but none was as miserable as that damned flu... I always get a flu shot now. There are a lot of myths and conspiracy theories about the flu shot. It is all bunk.

Have-a-hart traps are the way to go. They work. We used to use them in south Jersey many years ago, and over the course of a summer we cleaned out our area. We killed them ourselves though, so they couldn't come back. Many shelters will release strays instead of killing them, which is what the shelter in Jersey was doing. The cats came right back. I have spoken to multiple folks at shelters that say they have released hundreds of stray dogs and cats rather than have to kill them.
