Tasted like a salty senko #956 I'm not familiar with senko colors, so don't know what color is #956. I went to the Yamamoto baits site but they have shortened descriptions for colors, not numbers. Example:

Wish I had read this months ago. I was going to fix some outdoor plumbing, bought all the parts, then when I started I couldn't get the old stuff loose because it had corroded. Had to call a real plumber. So I agree with you. Simple plumbing and stay away from gas and electricity.

@Otter17, Interesting fish, thanks for sharing. I found this: https://dnr2.illinois.gov/Biodiversity/SearchBD You can search for fish, reptiles, plants, etc. for Illinois.

That's not a hellgrammite. You can look up aquatic invertebrates: https://www.macroinvertebrates.org

@LrgmouthShad, Is it one of these:

Creek Chub made a metal lip that was "L" shaped (before any of us was born!) https://blog.history.in.gov/reeling-in-the-legend-a-quick-dive-into-the-creek-chub-bait-company/

Maybe a Yellow-billed cuckoo? https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Yellow-billed_Cuckoo/overview

@slonezp Cholesterol info at the following link: https://medlineplus.gov/cholesterollevelswhatyouneedtoknow.html There is a chart:

Might just be Lunkerhunt Kraken Series...possibly an older model. Pin on Lure making & Airbrushing (pinterest.com) Vicious made a VXV series lipless. It looked like that. Looks like their logo in the eye.

Chartreuse perch colored Cotton Cordell Super Spot.

I haven't purchased anything from them, but Gopher Tackle seems to have been bought. There are smaller sized hooks on jigs at: https://gophertackle.net/mushroom-head-jig-mustad-hook

@A-Jay, Thanks for sharing!

@slonezp, When I read the title "Hot Lips id dead" I thought it was referring to:

I'm assuming you caught it in southern California. My guess: probably a white catfish. "Inland Fishes of California" states "The head becomes disproportionately large in individuals measuring more than 40 cm TL."

@TnRiver46, I think you misinterpreted. I'm sure she's indicating you only get one more cast. LOL.

@A-Jay, I think @RichF means:

Looks like Candy Corn. Yum.

I did a report on Ike in elementary school, I’ve still got some pins hahaha I think one of you is referring to a former President, the other is referring to the guy who returned to BASS? LOL

How do you determine the appropriate size single hook to use? Is it dependent on the blade size, body size, body weight, or something else? Do you only use french style blades? Sorry for all the questions (I'm just curious).

No, no, no! You're young so you haven't learned how to use words.* It should be: "ended the day in 4th place." (* = one of my managers wanted a weekly status report from each of his employees. We all learned how to be creative, yet truthful.)
