haven't painted this one yet. white shows up good in the water, may just do it in a pearl finish. maybe green with a white belly,any suggestions?

 YOU ARE THE MASTER...!!! LOL....

that is a really big bait

finished the paint job. decided to go with a green scheme mostly because i like green.

I can see this lure doing really well out in Lake Okeechobee. Imagine the topwater explosion when a 12 foot gator comes from underneath and crushes this thing.  ;D

IF you ever decide to sell one of those I want one, I will pay 25.00 for one of those probably wont even fish it but dang what a job on it.

Wow thats a great looking lure! I bet the southern bass will love that

I agree with the above post, I would pay 25 for a lure like that just because of how unique it is...this may be the way you make a fortune my friend and I think you should keep making them.

Just for giggles, it kind of looked like a massive sperm swimming around....thank goodness for a little paint.

simply breathtaking,

great job!!!!!.

Thats an insane video. Largemouth really do eat anything they can get there mouths on.

if you are going to be selling these, I'd love to know...they are remarkable really, I loved the first one you showed us,now seeing it swim, magnificent!

Dude, I would love a bait like this. I have been looking for a snake bait as well, let me know if you can make one or if any of you guys know of a good one.

actually starting on a snake next, will post a pic and video when it is done. any suggestions as to paint scheme ( no water snakes up here)?

Water Moccasins are dark brown/black on top and light yellow or cream on their belly.

Garters are about the same, but have yellow stripes and red spots down their bodies.

Since you're in florida, I'd go with a Reticulated Python pattern. They've gone wild down there in the swamps, and are probably quite common as babies. - Like this:  http://www.bobclark.com/d_learn.asp?id=71&cat=learn

I'm in NW Florida, so no pythons that I know of. The moccasin pattern sounds good. As said, dark brown with a light yellow (cream?) belly.

Aye,

Dark Brown with a Yellow or Cream belly.

The Reticulated Python is the fault of humans.  They've taken over quite a few swamp areas as people just let their giant pet snakes go, and the weather is warm enough and humid enough that they can survive and breed.

Best,

Paul

So I've heard. South Florida is a melting pot of non-native species.
