Looks like a OSP I've got but with a few mods. Link to the lure? My Monkey is curious.

I wrestle cows and train the meanest female fighting Dachshund around our property. Those two keep me agile, so I still weight train for strength 3 - 4 times a week depending on my fishing schedule. But I'm still wet behind my ears as I'll only be 50 text month.

You're right. The 1/0 EWG Gamakatsu is a perfect match. I've caught some nice bass on the Baby Shad when they're targeting tiny baitfish.

I use .032 Safety Wire

Crazy? Probably. But aren't we all. I agree with Bird.

1 - Spoon 2 - Super Fluke with a weighted hook 3 - Huddleston 68 or 5 or 6" Burrito 4 - Spoon 5 - Spoon

That's pretty fancy gear.

Brother, that's incredible. You're definitely in the right area for big girls, throwing the right swimbait. What swimbaits did you catch those girls on?

A 4.5 - 6" curly tail worm with a 3/16 bullet weight T - Rigged would be a fine starting point. A weightless Wacky for a beginner is gonna deep hook alot of fish. IMHO

I was just trying to be nice about the weigh, some folks are sensitive.🙂 If you'd break out the fishing robe, that'd even up the odds. Looks like a fine trip.

Alex, that man's half your age and outweighs by 40+ lbs. It wasn't a fair competition. 😆

Encountered YES. The DNR says we don't have them here in Ga.. Everytime I'm in Publix I'm concerned for my well-being with all the Cougars. I wear this gray beard but I'm pretty sure they can tell I'm younger than I look. It's a truly dangerous situation because you're not supposed to turn your back on them. But when there's dozens, what are gonna do?

I would've also sent it back. Taking something you didn’t pay for will make hair grow on your palms or make you pee in the bed. I think that's what I was told.

I used to hear complaints about lures in the washer and dryer, the complaints finally stopped.

I clean reels in the Summer, it's my slow season.
