Couple stories to share.... First, I was about ten or so fishing with my grandfather and dad at night on Cherokee Lake in TN. I was so young and excited I didn't know or care what we were fishing for! LOL. Anyway, we pulled up to a rock ledge and my grandfather had an OLD pump Coleman lantern. I can remember him pumping the thing at least twenty times and we had light. He sat it on the rock ledge and the lamp caught fire! He grabbed it and heaved it over into the water and sploosh! Mini explosion. Well, fish started floating up to the top and we decided to high tail it out of there. Fished maybe ten minutes! Secondly, a good friend of mine and myself were scout fishing a lake in preparation for an upcoming tourney. We got to the far end of the lake and since it was his boat, I was in the back. We started fishing and I asked if I should be hearing running water? He said a little. I opened the battery compartments and we were taking on a massive amount of water! He pulled his line in and we headed for the dock. The boat was so heavy with water, I had to climb out on the bow to even be able to see where we were headed. He then informs me that he cant swim! We get to the dock, he jumps out to get his trailer. I spin around to get a running shot at the trailer and down goes the boat. Me, tackle and all! We got the boat out. We missed the tourney!

When I was a kid, I dug this deep hole in the ground and buried one of those Styrofoam coolers. I used to catch nightcrawlers with my dad at first, and then as I got older, by myself. I would dump all my worms in there. Put coffee grounds in there once a week. After I got older, I dug it up and there were still worms in there! Must have been in the ground for at least fifteen years!

Where I live they have monthly trout stockings from about November to March or so. You can watch people actually chase the truck and wait for the guys to dump the fish and hit the creek or lake with nets. For those of us who have to work it sucks because by the time we get there, the fish are gone or have sore mouth syndrome and wouldn't hit pavement if they fell out of the truck! I highly commend you for your actions my friend!

Hi all. Just curious as to whether anyone uses the Black Fury? I absolutely love it in ALL sizes. I have caught more bass using this than any other bait I have ever thrown! I may not have all the latest and greatest techniques with flukes, frogs or whatever else but I have a blast with these!
