That particular one no sir as it was a prototype, but as far as the rest here’s what some will look like

Killer Crappie XL coming in hot for 2020. This is an enlarged refined version of the original Killer Crappie. It measures 7.75” long and weighs about 4.6 ounces, and is tuned with ST36 1/0 to a super slow sink.

When the crappie are schooled up at the top of lay downs is when this bait really shines

I was painting up a handful of crappies Friday night and played around with something a little different. I think it’s a keeper.

6.25” and 2.3 ounces, with a super slow sink.

Them ones are wraps not paint, thanks though

That’s just the way I bought it, so I can paint it myself. Andrew also sells complete glides. This and his trout are two of the best glides hands down, at least imho

For those who know, you know.

Thanks blue, and yes they do. They absolutely smash them

This little bait started life as pilchard bait for the salt, but has quickly become an awesome bass bait. It’s right at 6” and it weighs 2.25ounces

This bait has 5.5” body, 11” with the tail and weighs right under 3 ounces

In honor of the men who died on this day 60 years ago, rest in peace Buddy, Ritchie and J.P.

You only need to kill them if your keeping them because transporting them alive is illegal, but if you read your second line it reads encourages you to keep and kill them but in no way does it say you are required to kill any snakehead caught. I've lived in Maryland all my life, and fish for these a lot and have returned many of them perfectly alive, and I've had this same conversation with a DNR guy who watched me catch and release one in Mallows Bay. Straight from Virginia Game and inland Fisheries: What should someone do if they think they’ve found a snakehead fish? Before going fishing, anglers should familiarize themselves with the fish species found in Virginia. There are several native species including bowfin, lamprey, and American eel that look similar to the northern snakehead. For more information and assistance with learning the identifying differences between snakehead fish and native species, please see our “Do You Know The Difference?” information page. Any unusual fish needs to be reported to the Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries. We have established a snakehead hotline that anglers can use to report snakehead fish (804-367-2925). There is also a new, easy-to-use web application for reporting observations. Anglers are required to report snakeheads kept but are not required to kill them if caught and immediately released. Snakeheads must be dead if in possession (contained in live well, cooler, etc.) However, the Department asks that all snakeheads be killed if possible. If an angler wishes to keep a legally caught northern snakehead, the fish must be killed to be in possession, and the angler must call the hotline or other VDGIF contact and report the angler’s last name, date of catch, location of catch, and size. Kill the fish by: removing the head, separating the gill arches from the body, or removing the internal organs and put it on ice as quickly as possible. Is it illegal to own a snakehead fish in Virginia? Yes, it is illegal to own one without a permit. In 2002, the Board of Game and Inland Fisheries added the snakehead fish to the list of predatory and undesirable exotic species, making it illegal to possess a snakehead fish in Virginia without a permit issued by the Department of Game and Inland Fisheries. Federal regulations enacted in October 2002 prohibit the importation of snakehead fish into the United States and prohibit interstate transport of these animals. Individuals who still own a live snakehead need to contact the Department of Game and Inland Fisheries immediately for proper disposal of the fish. Effective July 1, 2005, anglers who legally catch a snakehead may keep the fish to mount or eat providing they: immediately kill the fish using one or more of the alternatives listed above and notify the Department at the number listed above or by calling an office. What will the Department do now that snakeheads have been found in Virginia? Biologists continue to sample snakehead-colonized waters in an effort to learn more about the ecology and biology of this exotic fish in Virginia. Migration, exploitation, food habits, growth, and behavior of northern snakeheads are being studied; and attempts are being made to determine what impacts, if any, are occurring to aquatic communities as a result of colonization. The Department has membership on the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s National Snakehead Control and Management Plan (SCMP) Work Group. This group assembled and submitted recommendations to the U. S. Congress. What kind of impact could a snakehead population have in Virginia? Exotic species like snakeheads can disrupt natural aquatic systems and may have significant impacts by feeding on and competing with native and/or naturalized fishes. In addition, they may transmit parasites and diseases to native wildlife in those systems. Do we have to be concerned about snakehead fish appearing in other waters in Virginia? Yes. While snakeheads are freshwater fish, it has been determined that they can tolerate a fairly high level of salinity (this is especially true for juveniles with lower water temperatures). They may be able to colonize additional drainages through extreme storm events riding freshets or by illegal introductions. Are snakehead fish dangerous? While northern snakeheads do not attack humans or small pets, they may present threats to our native and/or naturalized wildlife and ecosystems. The Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries wants anglers to be aware of the identifying features of the species they are catching and to report any unusual fish caught. Call the Department at (804) 367-2925. Anyone who still has a snakehead fish needs to contact the Department of Game and Inland Fisheries immediately and SHOULD NOT to release it into the wild. Call (804) 367-2925 and VDGIF will assist in the proper disposal of the fish. For additional information: See: Odenkirk, J.S., and M. W. Isel. 2016.

Your completely wrong, killing them is not required by law. It is illegal to transfer them to other bodies of water, but they can be returned alive at the location of the catch. Again there is no law stating that you must kill them, none Thats because of the money being generated from the guides who guide for them. A lot of them same guides also require that you release anything over 10 pounds back into the water alive.

Nobody??????

Alright guys, I'm heading down to Palm Coast to visit my mom for the week of the fourth of July. There are some freshwater canals that run all around where my mom lives, and I can bring my boat with me. My boat is setup to fish the reservoirs here so it's all electric which would be perfect as they only allow electric powered boats in them canals. My question is it going to be worth lugging my boat all the way to Florida, just to fish them canals. Do any of you guys have any time on these canals, and if so what can I expect? I was honestly going to just bring my swimbait gear and toss big baits my entire time there, or would that be a waste of time. I know it's hot there, and I have no experience bass fishing there. Thanks in advance for any help...

Dont always look at that though, a lot of times some of these baits are a bunch of hype and these kids buy them up. I've heard nothing but great things about the donuts though, but don't own one myself. I personally love my Phoney Shad and my Chad Shad, both are super nice gliding baits that flat out draw the fish in. The hinkles look amazing as well but I can justify spending $200 on one when the Chads and Phoneys are half that. Well I guess this won't be so true soon after the post that Jason St.Mary put up, I guess his baits will be up around the $200 mark here very soon. I'm glad I got on his list before this all went down.

I love my 175s a little tungsten putty in the front lip and nose up problem is gone, just tune them to your likings. Here are two awesome guys to deal with, ones a painter and the other does wraps. Both do great work and are easy to deal with. http://www.getbitcustombaits.com/ http://www.realisticwraps.com/

If you've never fished one you'll never understand, and you would be surprised at how many young guys fish them. The drawing power of a big glide bait is unmatched by any other lure, but they can be very costly along with the gear to throw them with. You will catch less fish with them, but the quality of the fish you catch will dramatically improve as long as you fish them correctly.
