Smells like fish

That model looks great for my stream smallmouth.

No I’d buy more myself at the right price and I have no idea why lol

I’d describe it as a shade darker than plum with some green flake

I found this old Rat-L-trap in a box, new rings and hooks for it. I ordered from TW some of the Bill Lewis replacement hooks. Idk the color but it looks like a good color for @Catt isn’t this similar to your Smithwick Rogue you like?

I think it was 20 of the 12 packs or 10 of the “cubes” lol for one lure

Exactly Winter is setting in boys, we gotta do something to entertain ourselves ?

I lurked for years before joining, idk what I was thinking. Welcome!

Welcome!

Welcome!

Welcome!

I was promised some the beer cans by a fishing bud that had 3 different kinds but he never came through with them. I have heard they catch waking too I hear you, but then 90% of my collection stays dry ?

Finland Rapala Fat Rap needing rings and hooks to get back out there. Orange belly on this one as well… looks sweetttttt

As Aerosmith once sang, “There was a time”- when these things would bring $50 each as there are Rapala collectors out there. @12poundbass I knew everybody would see title and face palm over it ?

Gum uh cot soo however I know what you guys are talking about when your throats are vibrating and you pitch that G in.

Not what you thought huh. About 12+ years ago if you drank enough Dew you could get free Mt. Dew patterned Rapalas along with cavities and diabetes Have you got any lures with brands or promotions on them? Let’s see them. I’ve not been too lucky on finding them at yard sales though tons have been made.

I’ll always be ready to cut lol

I’m basically just gonna make what’s there bigger and dump in bass fingerlings and I’ll add minnows. My sister has a good sized pond and they did great when we stocked 2-4” fingerlings in there 2.5 years ago. This pic is my lil nephew from 10 days ago on a Yum lizard. In time he’ll have some fun there in numbers even if size doesn’t ever come. On a good day me and him can catch 5-10 there in an hour or 2. We are happy. @TnRiver46 yup and within walking distance from where I live although the plan is to move onto that piece! Yup, gonna put some steel in the dirt in the coming weeks for yote removal. Right beside the pond is their community bathroom with like 8-12 piles

Bagged my 2022 buck a week ago today. 10 packs of backstrap, several packs of heart and liver and 32 packs of burger to enjoy

Just bought 50+ acres and there’s a small pond on it which I’m gonna make bigger and make “Topwater Heaven”. It won’t be much but it’ll be mine and that’s enough!! I’m not sure yet on dimensions.

My boy is called Andy for short and likes hats like @TnRiver46 I am telling you he is gonna make a smallmouth destroyer!!!

Finally got an Academy within 1.5 hours of me… I remember Blue liked their rods. Are the h2o rods still available and are they still recommended?

I have a Leatherman Supertool and a SAK Explorer on my belt everyday. Also a 2nd alox SAK in my left front pocket and a Knipex Cobra plier in cargo pocket. 5 more Leatherman at home and at least 6 more SAK’s…. I’m an addict

I’d have to tell the homeowner “I’ve good news and bad news, good news is I got your squirrel, bad news is I shot a hole in your house ?”
