Well I met up with Hog Wally at his shop to pour some jigheads and BS. Hog Wally said he had enough time for about two hours of fishing. When I heard that the excitement started flow as I knew he had a specific  area in mind that he had found thru his almost daily river fishing  from his house on the Meramec.

We arrived  at the river and it was up about three to four feet and was moving pretty darn good and murky. My expectations floundered but, I was still pumped to just run around  in Wally's  sweet boat. The water temps were  52 at the surface and the clarity wasn't  great but we just destroyed  them. Our 5 best fish in an hour and a half of fishing  went 18+lbs. We caught them on a Megabass Ito 110+1 in Table Rock Shad and the Mitch craw on a 5/16th jighead. It was flat out nuts....it seemed to me that we really fired this school up with the jerkbait and then just picked off some really nice fish on the Mitch craw. Action like we just had is few and far between so I am relishing  what just happened. Trust me these aren't  all the same fish....we caught four fish in the hour and a half that weighed well over 3lbs aND several 17 inch fish iN the 2+ range..we had to go but, could have caught  more. For me this qualifies as "epic", at least for and hour and a half

Wow what a day, good for you guys. Are those Mitch Craws? 

His father touches the Claw in spite of Kevin's warnings and breaks two legs just as a thunderstorm tears the house apart. Kevin runs away with the Claw. He becomes captain of the Greasy Bastard, a small ship carrying rubber goods between England and Burma. Michael Palin, Terry Jones, 1974

Yep Greasy....he has changed them a little....a few tweaks but, there is no denying  they are a big fish bait

Yes they are.  They have made my life a little easier on the river.  Very rarely do I not throw it.  I usually throw a seek and destroy lure to find fish then I pummel em with the craw.  They will almost always eat it

Stellar fellas... You did a good job of making my day at work even more miserable ;)

Your turn tomorrow.  Bring the action. Catch me if you can style fishing though.  This pattern should be all up and down the river so let's run and gun.

Where can you buy those?
