Fun Christmas Idea

[starkeer]

Not sure if anyone else has done something similar to this but I thought of a cool Christmas idea and thought I'd share. I am in Utah and my best fishing buddy is in Michigan. We decided to each send each other a $25 TW box with no rules on what could be sent. Then throughout 2020, whoever catches the biggest fish on a lure from that $25 box wins. Loser has to buy the winner a 6 pack of their choice. 

 

Just a fun to way enjoy the holiday's and pick up some new lures in the process. It's something I hope we continue to do and I cleared out a Plano box just for any lures I might get each Christmas.

Sounds like a neat idea!  Best of luck on that 6 pack!

Great idea. Goodluck. I could go for a 6 pack of Megabass(assorted) jerkbaits.?

Sounds like a cool idea. Where in Michigan is your buddy located?

I would not take up that bet against anyone living in the south. That’s a losing hand for me, lol. 
 

Great idea though. ?

Haha you've never fished in Utah, I've fished extensively in Maine, Minnesota, and Michigan growing up. Utah is hands down more difficult to catch a bass and a big bass. Some of the smallies swimming in Northern Michigan lakes could eat some of the larger bass I've caught in Utah haha

He's in Grand Rapids. Fishes the Thornapple a lot.

I kinda figured that about Utah, and that it would be relatively similar to my state. I’m in WA state so a 6lb is a hawg. Bigger ones are possible but much rarer. Good luck against your buddy. Keep us posted.

I'd be the friend mentioned in the OP ha! I love the thornapple for the multiple public access points.

 

Last summer I frequented Camp Lake and Wabasis north of town, I plan to begin fishing north of the city much more next summer.

 

What are some of your favorites up that way?

I used to live in Greenville just north of Wabasis. We moved last January north of Greenville to a private lake. Now I fish my lake and the others right next to me (Clifford, Dickerson, Derby, Nevins) they’re all less than five minutes away. 
 

I work Kent county so I’m familiar with the whole northern, eastern, and southeastern halves of the county.
