That's some might fine eating there!!! Nice catch.

Gave me a headache just watching. ? I will just stick to my Alberto knot, works for me every time.

What brand is that, I like the drain on the bottom. Did you order off the net or pick up local, where?

That is my most expensive bait but I don't pay $20 for them. Look around the internet and you can find them for $12 and some change. Yes, to me, they are that much better.

Same here, probably don't fish that much. ?

I love to read about this kind of thing, well done!!

Saved a lot of money with this one.

Mostly Ned rigs since I throw them a lot. Next would be Bandit 100's, my favorite shallow water crank.

By the time you get to the end, you will want one!!!

These are some good ones. https://www.tacklewarehouse.com/Owner_Treble_Hook_Safety_Caps/descpage-OHC.html

Same here, get the 5.1:1, I still have 2 old BB1's still cranking!!

Hate this happen to you but now you can do the next best thing to fishing, buy more "stuff". ?

Mostly Bandit cranks baits since that is the crank that I throw the most. Stock up on Black Friday.

As Tennessee Ernie Ford use to sing "Another day older and deeper in debt". Really had all 4 of my kids over and all the grand kids over for Christmas lunch and opening presents.

I have 3 Pflueger Supreme XT's. Never had a problem. They are a fine reel, highly recommend them.

Merry CHRISTmas and thanks for the video. Excuse me while I get something out of my eye.

Merry CHRISTmas everyone!!!!

Oregon Native, putting you on my prayer list also.

Still a long time to go. Bring on the heat, this southern boy is freezing!!! ?

I have 3 Pflueger Supreme XT's, best reeels I have ever used. I also have a President Limited Edition which I have never had any trouble.

I also like the Garmin unit. I saw one at Academy Sports for $499, think it was a 73cv which is a great unit. I don't think you could go wrong with Lorance or Humminbird either. All 3 makes good units with different features.

You can always depend on Mr. Smith and Wesson for security!!!

A-Jay, I certainly can't or don't do your routine but I do get a good bit of exercise. I do carts 2 half days at a busy golf course which I get in a lot of walking. When I don't work, I race-walk (can't run due to a bad knee) every day I get a chance plus I do stretches and do the bands. I'm about to turn 69 in a few months, when your this old you have to keep moving. I figure the more I am in shape, the more fishing I can get in. keep up your work, you're doing great!!!

Sad to hear something like this has happen to you. I will be praying for your recovery.

Why do you tempt me like this. I am a sucker for Lew's reels.
