I'm In

A buddy and me were fishing a small private lake years ago in the spring. I threw a crankbait down the side of a log, a bass hit just after my first crank, and started to pull drag. I knew it was a big fish, it surfaced several times and it was the biggest fish I had ever hooked. My biggest fish I have caught is 8.5 lbs. this one was around 10 lbs. my best guess. My buddy had put down his rod and was waiting for me to tire the fish. The fight lasted probably 4-5 minutes, I was laughing and enjoyed every second. As the fish came up along side the boat, it appeared to be played out, however, it made one last head shake and the crankbait came flying out. I thought my buddy was going in after the fish, he cussed and raised all kinds of cane. I just laughed and told him that I got all the good out of that one. I fish because its fun.

Worked for me too 8-)

I have the AV20 Avenger series spinning reels, had it for probably 4 years, still use it for wacky worming. Has served me well.... 8-)

I have 2 Pflueger Trions that are 4.3:1, I use them for cranking and slow rolling spinnerbaits, suits me just fine.
