The coolest bottle of Dr. Pepper I've seen in a long time. ?

Yep and sometimes they even put up more of a fight than the bigger bass do.

Those little bass do like big worms too. Last summer I caught a major dink on a 12" Mann's Jelly Worm Texas rigged weightless on a 5/O EWG hook.

Had 2 firsts today. 1st first was catching a bass with the 110 Whopper Plopper(also first fish of the day) 2nd first was catching a fish with four different baits/lures. 1lb 4oz on the Whopper Plopper, 1lb 1oz on a weightless Texas rigged bama craw Rage Craw with the pinchers dipped in chartreuse Spike It Dip N Glo, nonscorable bass on a wacky rigged double header red Strike King Ocho and a 2lb 3oz bowfin(not pictured because it took up too much space on here) on a 7/16oz bluegill Storm Wildeye Swim Shad. Not a bad day of bank fishing at Caney Lakes lower lake side. ?

Howdy Richard and welcome to our fishing family! I learned alot from reading the fishing articles on this site as well as videos on YouTube. If I still had questions about things, I asked the awesome folks in this forum. You can get a good Lew's baitcasting or spinning combo for less than $100. ?

Finally gonna try some flourocarbon and 100% at that. Picked up some 17lb Berkley Vanish and a pack of 7/16oz bluegill color Storm Wildeye Swim Shads. Already got a rod spoiled up with 40lb Sufix 832 backing and one of the new Wildeye Swim Shade tied on. Supposed to be trying a new lake either tomorrow or the next day. Can't wait to see if there's any big bass in there. ?

Right on, same here. I used to use 50lb Power Pro Spectra until I was given a spool of 40lb Sufix 832 when I was working at Rat-L-Trap by the boss man. Been using it ever since. ?

Big congrats to Mark Daniels Jr., the only member of my team that made it to day 4 and he won! He's a very nice guy. I've picked him on my team almost every time he's on the list. I met him a couple years ago when I was working for Rat-L-Trap. He's part of the Pro Staff and came to see how we made the baits. ?

Sufix 832 is all I use. 30lb on my spinning rig and 40lb on my baitcasters. Really good braid. ?

I use 6th Sense Peg Stoppers. $1.99 at work plus I get 20% off of that. You can leave them on your line, when you choose to take the weight off, so you don't have to put another one on when you decide to put the weight back on. ?

Before I left work yesterday, I picked up a 1/2oz dark green pumpkin Project Z chatterbait, a pack of Owner 3/32oz 6/O wide gap twist lock hooks, a pack of red shad Zoom Ol' Monsters and a pack of Gene Larew green pumpkin/chartreuse pepper Biffle Bugs. I'm off tomorrow and plan on catching some bass with at least one of those. Hopefully all of them. ?

The only one on my team that has any kind of a chance of winning is Mark Daniels Jr. He's currently the weight leader. Not too worried about the rest of my team. The closest one to first is in 28th place, Dave Lefebre I think is the one that's in that place. Rest of my team consists of Randy Howell, Aaron Martens and David Walker.

Finally got me a Whopper Plopper today. Got the 110 in 13 Munky Butt color. I was given a $20 Academy gift card from my boss today. Not exactly sure why he gave it to me, but not gonna turn down free baits...lol. ?
