Another awesome catch and post Paul. I was expecting to see a tailless bluegill swimbait hanging from her lip though . I took Catts advice and ordered some Gene Larew (sp) 12" worms which arrived yesterday. I can't wait to get out and try'em. You are definately the Tennessee Bass King....

DORK!

At least they wouldn't distract me.

Ok, I'm in the .62 percent range but I'm being compared to some Amazon tribe that grocery shops with a bow and arrow.

I also have both and cast 1/8 ounce lures all day with them. Of course you have to have the right rod also. I prefer the Shimano though, at least until ABU works out the kinks in the premier. Mine likes to make a sqeeching sound when you cast it. I sent it back and got a new one which does the same thing. It doesn't seem to affect the casting distance or performance though. Just fricking annoying. In fact, I'll sell you my Premier for $150. I'll add money to it and get another MG50.

Very good story Paul. I too recently jumped onto the swimbait wagon. I find these baits very exiting use. Baits like worms, flukes and cranks become somewhat redundant, especially if you fish several days a week. This is when I like to mix it up with a swimbait and see what can be enticed into hitting it. I have engraved into my head that a monster bass is going to smash my swimbait on any particular cast and at any given time. I picture in my mind the action of the swimbait as I crank it in, waiting for the strike. I then paint a picture of it swimming towards or past a HAWG and getting smashed. Realistically though, I know any of my regular baits (worm and cranks) will produce quality bass, if not better than the swimbait. I think it's the assumption of using a BIG bait that I'm going to catch a BIG bass that keeps it interesting for me, even though it's not always the case.

Sounds like you were fishing in a pin fish school. The pin fish will suck you dry of your shrimp. That is why I almost always use soft plastics, jigs and plugs. I heard the trout bite has been pretty good in early morning and late evening though. The snook are going crazy here in Palm Beach as well. Plenty of snook activity around the bridges, spillways and inlets.

I need to weld a section of my aluminum jon that I'm modifying. Has anyone used this product for "Do it yourself" welding? www.alumiweld.com/h2uaw.html

What's so funny? I got her clothes over a year ago and still waiting for her to show up.

Keep Quantum and toss the Calcutta in the trash. By the way, what is your address and what days does your trash go out?

I posted this a long time ago about various scents. Coffee flavor has been around for a LONG time. Brew yourself a pot of coffee and soak your plastics in it. The fish love the smell/taste for some reason.

I'll try but I wasn't born until 1967. 1. His mask 2. Ed Sullivan show 3. ? 4. Protect the innocent. Dragnet. 5. The lion sleeps tonight. 6. Limbo 7. Chocolate milk. 8. ? 9. Timex 10. Sweet Dreams? 11. Flag 12. Beetle and ? 13. The night Buddy Holly, Frankie Valenz and someone else died in a plane crash. 14. ? 15. Hula hoop. Ok, how bad did I fail?

Thank you (all) for the Happy B-day announcements. My 2nd Calcutta TE DC is on order.

I woke up next to her after one too many Cap't Morgans.

Way to go bro! I knew it was just a matter of time before you hooked into a lunker with the swimbait. She's a real beauty and a superb narrative. Are you sure you didn't entice her with a live gill first though?

I have one light tackle outfit. I refer to lightwieght as #6 mono and under. Rod= G-Loomis 6'6 IMX SR782 Reel= Shimano Sahara 750FB One spool with #6 and the other spool #4.

I turned 41 today. Anyone else have a B-day today? (members that is)

Perhaps lasic surgery. HMMMMMMMM!

I'm worried about our little buddy. First he changes his avatar to that annoying purple teddy bear that everyone hates (if you have little kids then you know what I mean), then he paints his nails, ironically the same color as the purple teddy bear, and now he's collecting pet rocks.

Was going to type your exact words.

I don't find it offensive at all. But I am curious to know what would possess someone over the age of 5 to choose purple, furry doll for his avatar. Do you think he cuddles with Curious George? I hope not because I really liked that little monkey.
