Went swimmin

Well the Chubster swam but rolled heavy in a current. I was counting on slack water at the canal but instead caught the last of the ebb. Leaves a major wake, nose slightly down and its chubby little arse waving. It rolled so much I saw the left eye then the right straight up as it wagged. Wondering how bad of a thing this is? I should try to minimize but I'm guessing its the shape of the body that does it. I was pressed for time so I did not try bending the eye or lip any. I'll try again later.
The needle I obviously weighted too much in the tail. It sinks slowly tail first. I need to relieve some back there and drop a small slug up front. This is gonna be fun, looking forward to tuning!
