Geez... You're missing Black & Blue! :unsure:

Simple solutions: 10% flat tax on GROSS REVENUE, no deductions...You or your company figure out how to budget or price your product...No surprises. Social Security tax (6.2%) on all earnings, without limit. "Needs based" benefits, i.e. no payments for individuals at or above $50,000 gross income. National sales tax...2%...dedicated exclusively to debt reduction. 5% per year across the board budget cuts for all Federal Agencies, no exceptions. Prioritize needs.

Rage Tail Baby Craw

Hairy Jig. Black on black or black & brown.

Right now it would be the Rage Tail 10" Thumper.

Nothing wrong with your hookset, but more generally, you need to be quicker with a jig. Bass usually spit the jig a moment they sense the weight. Set the hook the instant you perceive a bite. Sometimes that's a tap, a twitch in your line or your line moving out. You will just need to experiment with the presentation. Sometimes it's hop, sometimes drag. Short hops or long, you just never know. What I do know is that most of the time, long pauses are VERY productive! Bass are curious creatures. They may be attracted to your bug, but not committed. You stop the retrieve and the bass move in. When that "dead" bug moves, BAM! Here's a thread I really like. Joe.S is a master jig fisherman:

I liked her music, but don't have any feelings about the rest of her story. Not being mean, I just don't care.

Black with blue flakes is a great color. Black & red, watermelon & red and watermelon w/ black flakes are my other suggestions. Also, get yourself some Fat Ika.

10" Thumper, T-rigged, Blue Fleck (purple)

Oh...You haven't even fished the reel. I suspect it will become your favorite!

Nice fish! Congratulations!

Great post! I have always been treated fairly, not only at BPS, but every big name retailer. The rub is dealing with "no-service" companies like Comcast and virtually all of the airlines.

Man, that really sucks.

Great review. Please follow-up with more when you have fished it awhile. Thanks! -Kent

Single tail grub, the back half of a Swim Senko or for a really big presentation, Keitech Swing Impact Fat.

Nice job!

St. Croix Avid AVC70MM is THE BOMB! for shallow running cranks.

Rage Tail Thumper and Anaconda, Red Shad and Blue Flake (purple). I fish them both with 1/4- 1/2 oz tungsten weights and Moaner 6/0 Stroker Hooks: http://www.moanerhooks.com/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=68_65&products_id=181&zenid=e6e93686a5f931323784378b11cba02d

Nice fish, but why waste a minute on green fish when Maine is noted for fantastic brown ones? I'm told guys have 40+ days of smnallmouth in the 4-6lb range. I don't know, but that's what I would be focusing on. -Kent

Great day! :clap:
