Whopper plopper Alabama rig
So that would cost about 40$? Taking apart two whopper poppers plus extras and labor.

Poll: Which Fishing Show Do You Watch The Most?
There's a local show called mad fisherman that I occasionally watch because it usually runs before or after Red Sox games. It used to be interesting, now it's mostly doing fancy stuff with Boston sports figures and Chuck Woolery. I don't watch much TV otherwise.

Bass Fishing Youtube Videos
I like the BR videos when I need to learn or re-learn something. They are kinda in the type of format that has been done over and over on TV. I don't mind that but people want something new fast and flashy so the BR videos are overlooked in my opinion. Now eat a hot pocket and showcase your new drone and voila! 100k views!

Thoughts on Big Bite Baits
I'm definitely missing out as all of the ones at DSG must be promo/sample bags with only about 5 baits each and the stickers all say assorted so I don't even know what bait I'm buying.

Got a decent one
Nice. Did you get a weight on her? I'm guessing around 5 lbs?

Thoughts on Big Bite Baits
At my local DSG they are almost always on special for 1$ a pack. At an average of about 20 cents per worm, brush hog, lizard, what have you, you can't go wrong. They are always all mixed up on the hooks so you have to pull them all off there to find something good.

Bought my nephew a tackle box..
My 8 yr old son kills it with squarebills nowadays but when he started it was nightcrawlers and bobbers. As long as he is catching fish he is happy. For him bigger is better though.

Have you seen it?
Any specific network or region I might be able to catch it?

How did you find out about BassResource?
When I Google searched the Ned rig and a few other things, I always wound up here. Once I found myself on the main page with the list of threads I realized I had been missing out by only reading the specific threads Google led me to. Pretty good forum where the fires are put out quickly and any questions I could think of have already been answered. Thanks bass resource.

Can a Bass Live Long With a Swallowed Soft Plastic? Observations of Bass Tagging
They make surgical screws out of plastic that disintegrates inside of the human body, so that's not out of the realm of possibility.

Fishing in droughts
Haven't had any sizeable amounts of rain up here in Mass either. Some of our ponds are extremely low and all of my local lakes are too.

Whopper Plopper Size=Success?
Bought the 90 in Yellow Head (only color left in 90 at BPS when I got there). Yet to try it but when I was in the store, I could have sworn everyone said the 130 was the troublesome one. Hopefully I can fish it in the next couple of days and report back. ETA: caught 4 dinks in an hour. The biggest blowup was a huge bluegill that took a treble through the eye. I had to use the pliers on every fish due to both trebles digging deep into the fish. It was fun but I would have liked to catch something a little bigger.

Dumb You Tube Fishing Stuff
I watch one rod one reel because he usually fishes from the bank and is genuinely excited when he catches every fish. He doesn't come off like a spoiled kid like a few of the other young guys.

Do we have a fishing superstition thread?
Those same songs are the ones that put me on the fish. Funny how that works.
