Hope all of you are doing great and your Fishing is even better! Pls forgive my absence as I’ve become old and senile lol. At different events I’ve been able to see many of you and always enjoy our conversations and camaraderie. Actually met Dwight Hottle for the first time recently at the ICAST in Orlando and he was wearing the same“Camo Shorts” that I sent to him back around 2008. The shorts had gotten a little tattered since that time but then again so have we!

 

Also saw Glenn there at the same event and we discussed the latest news on things as well. Again, just wanted to drop in and say Howdy to you all and please let me know how it’s going for you or if I can assist you in any way… 

 

Let’s keep in touch!

Big O

Great to see you back again Steve.  

My rig continues to be full of all things Rage Tail.

Such killer baits. 

A-Jay 

 

 

 

Hey Steve!

Glad to see you back!

 You never sent me any pants! ??

 

That’s ok, without you there would be no Rage anything.. More than a Fair trade off

 

Be Well

Very few anglers achieve inventing a new lure design that sets the bar and becomes the standard, your Rage Tail did??.

Hope you are healthy and getting out in the water and catching big bass.

Good to hear from you.

Tom

Glad to see you stop by. I love my Ragetails!

Love my Ragetails as well but thought you were an NBA star ?

Good to hear from you as well Tom, it’s been awhile for sure. Hope you’re able to get out and chase’em these days ?

How y'all are? ?

I use Rage Tails too. It's cool to cyber-meet the maker!

Great to see you stopping by... sure miss those incredible fishing reports of yours. Seemed like every week you were picking up a DD or two!

Nice to meet you, Rage Tails being my favorite baits as you can see from my yearly backup supply of baits.

 

 

It was a real pleasure meeting you in person after such a long time. I even got to meet Glenn for the first time. I enjoyed talking to both of you. 

the OP invented the RageTail? !

Steve Parks ?

The man. The myth. The legend.  ✌️

@Darth-Baiter@Skunkmaster-kAnybody else new to BR in the last few years here are a few links about Steve Parks often called Big-O. 

https://www.facebook.com/ekdahlrealestate/videos/393386962247623/C

Steve is also a highly decorated grandmaster in Martial arts and when he isn't  catching DD bass which I'm sure total well over a hundred he is a published author of multiple children's books. 

 

 

 

dang!!  he's all that and a bag of chips!!

 

:D.  honored!

The most impressive aspect of Big-O is that he will take the time to answer questions & acknowledge you. Everyone he ever met is his equal until YOU prove him wrong.

As is @ol'crickety, and they both catch WAY more big bass than me... Hmmm... Might be something to this...

Hey Mike! I hope to meet you as well?as far as  pants, I’ve still got some of those camo shorts around but they’re old and tattered like me lol! If  there’s ever another RoadTrip event that we can all make, it would be a great time to meet more of you. Glad you’re on board here and I really appreciate your support ?

CATT you ole Rascal!!! 
I’ve been doing fine and hope you are too! Are you keeping the fish jumping in Toledo Bend or are they running you in circles! I was there a few months back, the water was lower than normal and they were eating swimjigs in the shallows. Wished I could get there more but central and West Texas waters are keeping me busy. Great to hear from you old friend ?

I know we’ve never met but it’s great to see you back!

Lol, I still fish a lot NorcalBassin but don’t post so many photos any more, just fish for fun ? over the past few years, I’ve been helping Ron Speed with Ron Speed Adventures in Mexico in fish finding and checking out new lakes for his company. It’s been crazy good fishing and he does a great job there. Myself, Terry Oldham and Denny Brauer have made many ck out trips with him and it’s always a blast basically running and gunning to find the best bites possible. I’m blessed to get to do such things and Ron Speed Jr has become like a part of our family. Hope to meet you some day too ?

Hey Dwight!!! I enjoyed finally meeting you too, we’re the same OLD age lol! So happy to see you still chasing those big brown bombers and enjoy seeing your photos! Maybe we need to get in a boat together and tell OLD stories HA!

Hey Darth, if Big O is the OP then yes OP invented the RageTail ? all kidding aside, I started designing the todays RT products back in the early 2000’s and completed the first final designs in or around 06. The rest is  where we are today. I own RageTail, the trademarks, copywrites and patents and SK licenses my products from me to market. I hope you have had a chance to fish them and if so, thank you for trusting my products to help with your fishing ???
