Can't make the derby but I'll kick in 2 free paint jobs. You guys can pick what place gets them.

Thanks Tim - I think it would be great to give one paint job to the winner and add one to the drawing.

Well I feel like I'm offering go kart rides after John Force says he'll take you for a pass in his funny car. Earlier this afternoon/evening I sent a private message to Quill about offering 4 painted baits as a prize. Since then I've been heading to the lake and dealing with all that stuff.

This can be four of yours or four blanks that I have on hand. Keep in mind I'm an amateur and in no way shape or form claim to be someone that knows what they're doing. I just wanted to contribute to the cause somehow and this was the best way I could think. It was either this or a $1000 bass pro gift card. So I'll paint baits.

So however it shakes down you could be the poor sucker stuck with some junk baits I slapped paint on. Whether it's one person with all four or two people with two, it makes no difference to me.

So just a disclaimer because I feel kinda stupid. I had planned this and sent the message before Hughes posted his generous donation. Hughes is the man. I'm a pee on newbie. For your sake I hope you win his prize not mine.

Don't be so hard on yourself, man. You sound like me! Your paint work is plenty good and it's very generous of you to offer it as a prize.

Tim has been doing custom paint work for gosh knows how long and has been featured in Bassmaster magazine. We don't expect any amateur to match his work.

Good luck tomorrow and thanks again for your donation.

ive got a couple of hughseys warts and love them but 5bites dont sell yourself short you work looks good and your using proven baits. im on bass baits buy and barter on facebook and ive seen some the most beautiful paint jobs you can ever imagine but some of them use cheap knock off blanks and its starting to come back on them. they are getting alot of complaints that the baits dont run true and cant even be tuned. point is pretty dont always catch fish. I think your on the right track. :)

Well you've got to admit, the timing is a little unfortunate ha ha. It would be nice to get a few out there to get some critical opinions and durability testing too. I have no intention on making it a business though. It's just fun to mess with. There's a steep learning curve to a good part of it. For me anyway.

I kinda thought about offering up a rod repair instead but with everybody living so far apart it wouldn't be handy for anyone.

I'm just excited to meet some members. My boys will have a good time too.

Sure everyone's on the water and won't see this, but I texted Bill that I dipped up a couple of jars of my homemade 'pink stuff' lotion for hard-fishing hands as a little drawing giveaway. It's not much of a donation, but the five pounds of tater salad will hopefully raise my stock.

The charm of fishing is that it is the pursuit of what is elusive but attainable, a perpetual series of occasions for hope.

Glad you liked it, Bo. Champ spent his lunch time gabbing and missed out. He has to ride home with the empty bowl. Fun outing. Enjoyed meeting folks and getting to visit a spell.
