Fastbasser, here in the Mid-South our goggle eye might have a body shape like that (maybe thicker) but the mouth is a lot larger. Color is a lot more brown and they have these turquoise lines radiating from their mouth. Pretty fish and put on a great fight... skillet

Sure be the first to admit that there is a whole lot I could learn about rods :-[. Having said that, it would sure seem that 2 rods from same company, the mod. would load better than a mod. fast :-/... skillet

Used to have a spinner bait tied on always and can't even remember the last time I gave one a real try... skillet

We visited my daughter in Cocoa when our grandson was born. I went wade fishing at the warm water outlet of the power plant there . I thought it was GREAT! I might rethink that idea next time ... skillet BTW mrlitetackle, I'll give you a holler next time ...

I just about have to have a weedless application! Let us know if you find salt water leader material and how it works. Places that sell salt water gear in the Mid-South are far and few (I wonder why that is?) ;D... skillet

I think steezy had a good idea or try a #3 Mepps bucktail. I've had them work when nothing else would (in a small pond)... skillet

I like'em! How does the shrink tubing hold up? Have you been using them long enough to tell. I sure had a heck of a time trying to get the worm straight when hooking parallel :-[... skillet

Nice fish! Every new angler needs to get in on some topwater fun ... skillet

GREAT post! The pics take your breath away, must be unbelievable in person... skillet

This one is the BEST! WELCOME ... skillet

Something seriously wrong with Bubba ;D... skillet

No. 3 and 4 Mepps buck tail with silver or brass blade ... skillet

Thanks for the HELP ! Guess I'll have to figure out how to get that yo-yo effect while still reeling :-/... skillet

$15 Spinnerbait AIIIIEEEEEEEAUGH CONGRATS on a PB... skillet

There is definitely NO "winter hibernation" here in the Mid-South ... skillet

I was reading Gomer Pyle's post and didn't want to hi-jack, so... I recently started using lipless cranks (Strike King) and have this problem when yo-yoing while retrieving them. I am using the rod tip to pick them up and fall, not cranking on fall. Don't know if this is the problem or what.. skillet BTW don't think type or size of line would make a difference but 12# orig. Stren

Man, you did make the best of a bad situation (CONGRATS)! That first thing he came out with would have sure colored the rest of my night... skillet

This might just speak for most of us. i don't get to fish as often as I'd like but I try every day the sun shines (or doesn't :)... skillet
