Texas rig normally. Also works great on a shakeyhead.

What are you planning on doing with the reel?

He's probably feeling like a free man now, no $1000 limit on his TW orders......

Hey, at least he gets to sit down. I have to stand up all day!

You could try spraypainting it pink, almost a guaranteed 13 pounder!

It's hard to find a better squarebill than the KVD 1.5 IMHO.

I got money on my mind, I can never get enough.....

Rage tail is far and away my favorite soft plastic company. Havoc, Powerbait, Yum, ZMan, BBB, GYCB, you name it, I fish with most of them.

Pike, catfish, snakehead, I have no idea.

No, you didn't slay them that day, you smoked them that day!

Oh, and I believe a member caught a fish on a ladle a while back. Might be remembering it wrong, but I think he caught it out of a koi pond in a Chinese restaurant.......

I have snagged two. Interestingly, one of them, upon discovering that he was hooked, made a run for the middle of the pond, where he somehow managed to scrape off my bait on a log or something. All I know is that the carp was gone and I was hung up. Losing both the carp and my lipless wasn't fun haha.

I've caught fish with a bare hook before! On of my favorite YouTubers did a gummy worm challenge, he ended up catching a fish by dropshotting a twizzler. I've also seen some a YouTuber from "Brendan's Fabulous World of Fishing" catch fish on toilet paper, pine needles, etc.

I've never used one but hey: pink super flukes and trick worms are great, why not Rat'LTraps?

I've heard a ton of good things about Powell, I've always wanted to try one out.

There's a club dedicated to the art of Scrounga fishing. You may want to check it out. The only requirements for joining are owning three-piece travel rods and catching a DD per club trip.

I would live with a big flipping stick! Cover enough water with a Rage Craw or something and you're bound to get bites eventually. You also could try going right through them by upping your tackle and punching.

Thread the trailer onto the hook as you'd normally do, and push the soft plastic up onto the the trailer rigging wire. It helps hold your bait in place. It works pretty well, although it tears up your bait a little more than usual.

Yep, I was thinking Hydrogen Peroxide as well. You never know when you're going to run into rusty hooks.

^Self contradiction

Haha! If that works I'm totally picking one up. Hate those critters...

Revenge of the Sith, and I CAN'T WAIT for the new one!

As long as it's within legal ramifications, keeping fish shouldn't drastically harm a body of water's population. I'd say there's more C + R anglers than ever before, I certainly see far more throwing the fish back than eating them, especially with bass.

Any day out is a good day!

Congratulations to her, that's a beautiful bass and a beautiful gal!
