buzzed bait

looks awesome!

i've had both, still have some champions. i would opt for the champion over the avid, everyday.

dropshot would be a good way to find them in deeper, clearer water like that

that's a toad that ate another toad!!

who is the one holding the camera all calm and collected?

creepy

i quit smoking nearly 7 years ago and just quit cold turkey. couldn't imagine trying to use one of these to curb or quit cigs. i would get ticked when my lighters went out, couldn't imagine my temper flare when the battery died on my unit. most of them look absolutely ridiculous..... last time i did something along those lines it was playing a recorder, in kindergarten.

you're wrong man!!!!

RW is right on about trying while they're hot.... scaleface right on about me forgetting to do so and sticking with what is catching at that moment....

nice going! really love that first pic of the truck in the middle of nowhere!

LOL nice pig there

jigs catch pigs!!! nice going!!

would love to catch some frog fish right about now!

that's a beauty of a fish! the new "dottie" with that black spot!

nice bass, but monster crappie!

Good thoughts on the right clothing there A Jay and Goose. I never give that any thought, honestly. Think I'll at least put some dry clothes in my dry bag in the hatch and just keep them there.

i've seen some crazy old guys out on the rivers (chattahoochee, catawba and little tennessee)!! one ultra crazy old guy on the catawba south of the lake norman dam around the cowans ford area. dude had to be like pushing 80 in a canoe with a little white poodle dog and i think he may have still been tripping from the 60's..... he talked to me and my buddy for quite some time and then had this crazy moment near sun down talking about "the golden hour". was much like the "double rainbow" guy in terms of how he was acting about it. craziest old hippy i've ever met on the river no doubt. he was wayyyyyyyy out there, but he was also as fit as most any young guy you'd see.... my fishing buddy and i still get a good kick out of that and i'm sitting here laughing to myself just thinking of the old guy. as for the guy in this article though, they said he was retired from both police department and sheriff's office. so he's likely not in terrible shape and obviously a little bit crazy, I imagine something along the lines of @Bluebasser86

that's one purdy fish man!!

if you're not losing them, you're not fishing them right.... at least that's what i tell myself every time i lose one!

pricey for the spincast models, but my dad has 2 daiwa goldcasts and will not use another reel. they've lasted him quite a while.

war eagle finesse

that's one of the many odd looking creatures that come from the water!

all the above and add that for me they have not hung up nearly as much as other bladed jigs. have had a number of takers on the initial fall as well.

nah man, all is well, no need to fear whatsoever!! although pretty PC for raider, speedy was Mexican, as in north american.... so all is good.

this is what i was thinking while i was out there by myself on sunday. my kayak is like blackish grayish camo looking color and i had on some brown pants and a gray sweatshirt. i definitely wasn't very visible to boaters....
