Its About the Plug 2014
Big, small, who cares? Lets see what your (or someone else's) custom plug can do. We all learn from it.
To start here is a 26" bass (it looked huge compared to what I have been catching so I measured it  ) that ate a 4" Musso small darter clone. The plug has done well for me, which is a pleasant surprise since I was not impressed when I swam the prototypes. Interestingly, the plug swims better with larger hooks than I tested with. The forward hook position seems to balance things out well. |

George, your darters catch great. The medium Musso did me very well. Love to have a small one. LOL

Caught this one few weeks back on a Billy DeLizio "redfin".
I had been throwing plastic with no takes and switched to Billy's plug which offered a larger profile, tuned the line tie down to keep it on top w/ wake. The fish cooperated. Thanks Billy for saving what was turning into a frustrating night. 36.5" released

Good idea filming it so you can remember how to do it as you get older.

how come I can't catch any fish on those. Must be the fisherman and not the plug.  |

This 37" fish came from the spot some Irish guy who used to live in Franklin should be fishing but isn't.
Ate a little bottle I built this winter.

Throwing a Blonde Terror yellow pencil this morning, the bass went 15 lbs on the boga, it hit as i was just lazily finishing a retrieve in about 4 inches of water,  certainly wasn't expecting that.
The blue went 6 lbs, caught another blue that went 6 lbs on a 24/7 blue mackerel pencil which snapped a one treble off the front hook, has anyone ever had that happen to a vmc before??, all fish released to swim again and they did. Not a bad first morning out, considering there were quite a few people there this morning.

When your fishing partner ask "Do you even know how to catch fish on plugs anymore?" (I fish a lot of eels/he fishes a lot of plugs) I had to put on a needle, land a fish and make him take a photo of it.
Sin: fishing eels
Ultimate Sin: fishing numbskull's plugs with a eel jug over my shoulder. (Sorry)  |

REPENT Sinner!
at least you recognized your mistake
stick to plugs to catch fish, it makes the few big ones well worth it
now where did I put my eel jug?
was that on a Numbskull needle?
Nice Frank |

I can't leave the eels alone. 
It's a hab's clone from numbskull. Birch or Maple I'm guessing. Fish hit it as it tagged bottom and I'm guessing that is why it was not he siwash. |

Daytime pic
Not often that I fish in the day. Nice to see the colors instead of black and gray.
Lure is a chunky needle made over the winter.

this is one of christians aka chrisjoes metal lips he gave me. its a atm jr hybrid of sorts, cast decent considering too.
i threw it the second night at cutty, slow waking it on the top and the fish were just blowing it out of the water left and right, was a blast to watch,must have happened 10-12 casts in a row, then finally hooked up with 2 decent fish on it.
have the fish pics on the camera, ill upload later on
took a nice chunk on my buddies white darter in the pitch black too
