Wedding ring.
Yup.
In front of my wife.
I had just reeled in my jig that was covered in algae. I pulled it off the jig and tried to let go of the algae so it would fall back into the water.
It stuck to my fingers.
So I shook my hand vigorously to free the clingy slime.
It let go of its grip...while pulling my ring right off my finger!
PLOP!
Wife, "What was that?"
Me, "Uh...I'm not sure." (looks at hand) "Oh no! It was my ring!"
Wife, "Can you see it?"
Me, "Nope. It's gone."
Wife:
I've used it quite a bit, and haven't lost any fish. You can see in my video the fish jumping too. I really doubt it was the rig's fault. More like a dull hook or poor hookset.
Overall, I like the rig. It gives a different look to the bait particularly where T-rigging has, up until now, been the only option for flipping/pitching.

It's one thing to forget to renew something, it's another level to willingly submit false information to get a $10K reward.
It speaks to his character. It makes you wonder what else he's done.
There's a Facebook bass page that deliberately posts controversial and provocative things just to get a rise out of people....and it works. Dumb people take the clickbait every time and comment without fail.
Well this game was over before the end of the first quarter. The Hawks are pathetic.
Just when you think they were getting better, they revert to their old ways.
Geno's been intercepted EVERY game this season (leads the NFL), and he's already been intercepted once, and it isn't even halftime yet. Let's see how many more he gets.
Ok, it's SNF at Seattle. If you like drinking games, take a shot every time the broadcast plays a grunge song going into the break. You'll be drunk before halftime. LOL!
Besides grunge, the Seattle area has produced other famous musicians such as Heart, Jimi Hedrix, Dave Matthews Band, Sir Mix-A-Lot, Macklemore, Sleater-Kinney, Queensryche, Quincy Jones, and yes...even Bing Crosby.
But NOOOO! They gotta play grunge! LOL!

People are holding onto disposable income right now due to the looming economic uncertainty. In addition, businesses are being extremely conservative with their 2025 budgets right now because of the proposed tariffs.
So it's no surprise the pawn shops are already feeling the hit, especially ones that specialize in collectables.
The Luxxe rods (pronounced Look-see) are very popular in Japan. I had a chance to handle them when I was there last February at the Osaka Fishing Show. Very well-made and sensitive rods. Light too. I was told the travel versions are extremely popular due to the lack of storage space in most apartments and condos.
These baits are perfect for fishing in the middle of the winter and catch plenty of bass every year.

Some of you are beginning to see what it's like to live on the West Coast. It's virtually impossible to be a part of any major circuit. Can you imagine moving your family, finding a new job, house, etc just so you can fish tournaments? But that's what it takes.
Havasu will be filled well in advance. West coast anglers are ignored by the big leagues, so they're hungry for any event, and will travel a full day or two to get there.
