Does your incessant whining make you feel better? How about you just shut the hell up and suck it up? It's a fishing forum , so please just stop.

I have not had much chance to get out and fish this year but when a friend called and told me how good it was the night before, I had to go out once I got home early enough from a night out with the wife. I credit some good karma from donating 2 units of red blood cells that same day. It was a new moon and I tied on a black needle that I think was made and given to me by Diggin Jiggin Dave Ross.
My personal best from a beach(I have 3 40's from the canal) it went almost 46" and 35 lbs on the boga, she lives to fight another day. Thanks to Folifish for the photography and lighting

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.

1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!

It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

One of george's Hab's clones, I have very goo dluck with those in yellow... It looked like maybe the tail hook pulled I landed it with the treble in the side of its head. I was Surprised it didn't pull.

It was maybe the fattest fish Ive ever caught. Pics suck, crappy cell phone... 38lbs and released...

Amazing.........and embarrassing a bit since I hardly ever fish those needles. Guess I'd better rethink that.

Here is a decent fish from a really good night several weeks back that ate a black danny. Been a banner year for danny plugs.

Nice fish George. A big fish on a metal lip is still on my bucket list but I don't fish them as much as I should.

Beautiful fish there George,and on a metal lip even better


I got this one on a plug I got from Johnny in 2006, one of 3 plugs from when he first began making plugs. I modified it then with some weight in the belly, and yesterday I added some lines on the sides with a sharpie.
It is offset turned and does a tight spook action. Sorry for the weird angle from a cell phone pic, the fish was fat and did not have a snook front end to it like it looks like. Anyway, great plug by a great guy! Johnny you rock.
