River Bass

Meh...for Mitch and Hog Wally they are a dime a dozen

It actually does concern me a little about leaving my stuff on the bottom of the river.

One of my buddies does that thing where you grab the line and send your rod/reel down the line to knock the bait free. I have a perfectly good hound dawg in the boat, but he just loves to do that trick.  One of these days....  the inevitable is gonna happen.

And I'm gonna laugh like a madman.  ?

That's taking a huge risk with a rod tip!

Case in point... snagged this one over the summer.  Kept it for awhile thinking I would make a mold for the jig head but the temptation to try it was to great....

i think I lost it on the fourth cast I made with it so it's back on the bottom of the meremac with its litter mates!

add me to the list of folks patiently waiting to buy some!

Parker,  I am sure that was mine.   If I'm on a hot spot I will break em off instead of running the boat over the fish to get my jig back.

I only do this when my son is hung up.

I used to think like that, but then I realized that if I pulled until I broke off, the fish in that area would quit biting anyway.....so now I just go get the bait and give the spot a rest.

Well, heck, if you want some, put on your scuba gear and head to the Gasconade.  Mitch, Hog Wally, and I lost a bunch of them to the rocks yesterday.

Al's "Hairy" crankbait was the working anyway that day!
