Smalliebigs

YEP YOU SCREWED UP.....I was given Chuck Tyron's 200 Smallmouth adventures....just kidding actually you probably just didn't ask

sweet looking crank Quill !!!.... I have a bunch of those in stock shad patterns but, that craw is sick!!!

Very nice Dave!!

shhhhhhhh......just call

agreed hahahahahaha

Oliver is a very cool cat who has always responded to my info requests on swim baits almost immediately. He doesn't know LOZ, he is just dedicated and has extreme patience. Him and his crew have inspired me on swim baits.....I'm still learning but, it is one of my favorite ways to nail a big fish......patience is required though. Good for Oliver

you got that right hahahaha

agreed

very true my friend hahahahaha

I fished from the bank like a complete gaper at a public access that is very well used with rope swings in the trees and methheads tweaking in the bushes. I just had to nail a few fish for my sanity so location was not well thought out. I caught one Spot after another for about an hour and a half, a few around 15 or 16 the rest just fun little dinks. All were brought to hand with a Japanese top water bait and my sanity is in tact for now.... mission accomplished ✌️

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

No doubt Mitch.... as you know the big girls usually don’t come to play when the water looks like a Gin and tonic😜

Thanks John I am a lucky man as much as I female doggy about my wife sometimes. That Smallie was a special fish for that watershed and the whole scene of getting in to hand was played out right in front of my wife’s face. She kept saying “ oh yer gonna loose that thing... it’s just gonna be a fisherman's tale” hahahahaha She was a very nice Smallie out of a smaller watershed.... a true gem and I hope somebody else gets a chance at tackling that thing. John here is a mess up pic that kinda illustrates the length of that Smallie and we still need to go paddle up a watershed I want to show you

Well I guess I’m lucky my wife of 15 years is willing and wants to do a float trip on our Anniversary. The weather was glorious and so was the fishing. My wife is a cool gal and puts up with my goofy posterior monkey dodo.... I’m a lucky guy in many ways. I nailed fish on a Tackle HD small craw in their Kiwi special run color and a few fish on a a MB Quick Walker.... the fish were in their typical late Summer early Fall pattern holding deep in the wood. If you could make the accurate casts to the wood it was game on.

Is that a Smallie in your 5???

Hahahaha awesome smile

Does anyone know if you can powder coat Tungsten jigheads??? I thank you in advance for the info

Dude it looks like your fishing in my coffee from today hahaha great job that is crazy man those bass were choking on the Hellgramite

I will say this Al.....none of these guys do a very good Smallie mount especially Don's and Coryell. Not many do a good smallie......Don's had the vertical bars going the all the way up and down the fish???....some of these guys just haven't seen many Smallies I assume???

say when I will provide you with cash and a bag full of Japanese baits.....just say when

Very nice David......the Osage is just full of all kinds of crazy big fish......I really wish I lived closer to it

Coryell Koch is about as good of an artists as you can get for this IMO http://www.kochtaxidermy.com/index.html his work if you ever get to see in person is rediculous trust me.

I think people who can’t swim will still swim in the river there....once again the river is just as harmless there as it is anywhere and I will still wade there and cross the river there but, I can swim very well. I hope all the signs every 20 yards saying people die here and life jacket stands as well as the fake cemetery for all who have perished there keep as many people away from that racist water shed personally.

Same here Wrench but, I rarely get any over the 18 to 19 inch range.....a few every now and then.....these bastards haunt me

St. Louis County beat ya to the punch.... they already have a wooden rack with plenty of Life Jackets..... people just go swim in the river there even when they can’t swim.
