Good Old Lures No One Ever Uses Anymore

Funny story about Fliptail worms.  When my son was about 8 years old, we starting taking him fishing with us when we went to Okeechobee.   He couldn't cast very well, so we tied a Texas rigged black 9" Fliptail worm on his line with a 3/8 weight.  He didn't cast it, just dropped it to the bottom and bounced it along the bottom.  The biggest bass I had caught up to that point was 6 1/4 pounds.  One day while he was doing his thing, he hooked a big fish on the bottom.  I told him it was a mud fish and he should reel it up so we could release it.   That's when I saw the line moving to the surface.  At that point a huge bass jump out of the water attached to his line.   I tried to grab the rod to help him, but he was having none of it. He landed that fish himself and it weighted 8 1/2 pounds.  He held our family bass size record for a few years after that which he always reminded me of.  I mounted that fish and we still have it.   Great memories....

    Proper southern grammar "y'all is singular, all y'all is plural".
