this is my frog reel, an Ambassadeur 4500c3. it is a winch. little heavier than some other reels but it balances well with the rod I have it on.

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO MY SECOND FAMILY........EVERYONE HERE.......

Manns Jelly worm started it for me...........

motorcycle helmet. It was a cold day in Palatka at the time. 7 foot St. Croix rod with an 4600c4 Ambassadeur.....even went swimming in the Stick Marsh for the rod....

this with no leader.......

this...

sandwich?????? where...now I'm hungry.

both....and then some....luck..skill.....passion....obssesion.....when you catch yourself wherever you are thinking about what you can do to improve your skills, catch rates.etc. you know it's way more than art or science....like I said it's all of the above.....that's why I fish.... great question by the way......gives ya something to think about.

nope.

I stepped on one .......that's how I broke it. that was 30 years ago......haven't broke one since...

DAD all day long..........you will never regret that....trust me.

advantage....I live in Fl. fish all year round......disadvantage.....I live in Fl.....wish I could fish every day.......

change mine out every 4 years....all 3 of em....

spend more time on Okeechobee..Only did 5 days last year.That won't cut it for me next year.I need at least a couple of weeks minimum.

clear spooks are the way to go....no downsizing though.......

practice plug??????

mostly yes.....have 4 mediums for certain applications...but yeah med heavy works for me..

I really believe the cold fronts affect the fisherman more than the fish. You just got to slow down and figure out what works at the time. I have caught em great right after a front came in and sometimes they just don't seem to want to hit anything. It's a crapshoot. Love it.

the golden era started APRIL 9TH 1963.........the day I was born........LOL.....for me at least..

Rattletrap is my #1.....Redeye shad #2.....Rapala #3....some days one will out do the others.I have to try all 3 sometimes to figure which one is working that day. funny how that is ......that's fishing for ya.

chatterbaits.......that's it ...hate em......

you'll know when you have it in your hands.....you just feel it. then you know. I think Yoda said it.....

Fishing first always............

my dogs will smell my bags when they go in the garage but shy away once they get a whiff. my older dog will almost gag and vomit.so I don't worry about them getting into my baits.

to answer your question....YES. beyond unethical......
