Most fish caught on a single Z-man bait (255):

So they did actually confirm you are the official record holder then?  I noticed you changed it from "unofficial" to "official" at the bottom of your post.

That is awesome @Team9nine.  Too bad the holey jeans had to make in there though!

 

You’d be surprised by how much flack I catch from friends about the jeans ? Really surprises me. A couple guys even threatened to start a Go Fund Me page last week to try and get me a new pair. It’s all so confusing, as two of my young nieces stopped by to visit over the weekend and their jeans were torn with holes, too - and they paid good money to buy them that way - LMAO. Here I just thought I was being fashionable and “hip” ?

Brian - you and I are both too old to be 'hip'. My torn jeans/cargo pants are relegated to workshop wear only.

That look is so 2017.

Ha...gave my dad crap about his torn jeans a while back. He just turned 66 in June and said something along the lines of wanting to be hip and wear what the cool kids wear. I said your alot closer to needing a new hip than you are to being hip.

Why am I laughing at that? Next month I'm 62...so not that far behind him.

Don't know why they would be giving you a hard time, kids these days are buying them like that for hundreds of dollars!  You just paid less for the same style!

this is cheating in a tide pass

Duo Spearhead Quattro Ryuki 70 (mm)

Swapped the size 8 trebles with #7 Gami velcro. 

Too big to be a glass minnow, but can't imagine any lure that imitates the bait ball better. 

First hard baits I’ve bought in a couple months. Picked these 2 up from Vandam ware house In Kalamazoo mi. Ordered and had them in 2 days.  Perch color ( actually named sugar daddy, should be called perch though ) and a new pro black color.  The suger daddy is going to replace the other perch I lost last Sunday.  Tomorrow is payday so I’ll probably order either lucky strike or  mega bass jerk baits.

So far it feels great but setting it up to cast well has been frustrating. 

 

 

I've found that my Met's are much better behaved with all four brakes engaged. Dunno if the JDM models are any different other then price. Still silky smooth with all four on and not any noticeable difference in casting distance and a big difference in bird nest size and quantity.

FM

For what it's worth, my Curado 70 MGL is exactly the same: all four or bird nest city.

 

Only reel I own where I have more than two of the four brakes engaged.

I told myself repeatedly that I wasn’t going to buy one of these. Apparently I enjoy lying to myself ?

I almost pulled the trigger on one of these or a new Zillion but instead I picked up a Met.  It is one of the coolest looking reels Daiwa has ever made.  I would definitely want to hear how it worked out.  Enjoy.

Picked up a very gently used Conquest 842S off another forum and bought my first Shimano reel to go on it a Vanford 3000

I have the same set up expect in 782s and Vanford 2000.  It is a great fishing combo!

Dude I got the same thing. Those smack in cold water. I prefer the pro blue red pearl color though.

Gussy!!!!!

 

Latest haul some lipless cranks by duo realis a spro jerkbait and some terminal tackle.

I got some bait monkey karma today. A little while ago I noticed the Rage smokin rooster on the Sierra website for 3 bucks a bag and I sent someone a PM that I know really likes them. I hope they got some. 
 

Today while waiting for my kids car to ge5 new tires my wife decided to stay out and hike and shop a little. The first store she picked was Sierra for some gummies which was a win for me and an eye roll for her. 
 

Got 20 packs of smokin roosters for the same 3 bucks a bag. Two green  pumpkin purple gold 3 green pumpkin and 15 water red which is perfect. Now I just have to search on here for different uses for them. 

After seeing pics  of @A-Jay favorite jig I stopped and grabbed a small sample of jigs to try. Going to see how they look in the water and how they fish before I stop and grab the rest of the colors and various sizes.

Two questions, 1) do they have a split-belly? 2) do you know what they weigh?

 

I have been using the baby zoom supers a lot but would love a heavier plastic with about the same profile.
