...caught a bass.

Friday evening on a rocky shoreline I cast this plug (I hope I posted the picture correctly) and caught a nice 20" schoolie on the first cast of the night. a heckuva feeling.

The plug was my first off the lathe and this was the first time I cast one of my own. The paint is white with a purple haze, a white bucktail with four white and one red feather.

I have sat and watched and hopefully learned something from the amazing work you all are putting out there.

Sorry, this pic was too big the first time (probably still not the right size but here goes).

Well. that's exactly what building your own is all about!! Congratulations! Nice looking plug, too. Gonna copy it. :uhuh:

:kewl:

:D..

ain't life grand, when something like that happens... nice work..

Sweet...that's a great feeling!!!

nicely done dude.

AWESOME!

Don't ya just love it when a plan comes together :kewl:

Now hang the plug up for retirement so you'll always have it.

excellent -- what a great felling. :jump: :jump: :jump:

Nice shape, nice color,and best of all ya know it catches.:D

This really is a lot of fun. I even had managed to convince my wife to get me the lathe for xmas.

After I caught that fish I threw that plug a few more times and played around, got it to walk the dog and swim with a nice little tailwag. I did not want to lose it so I soon put it back in the bag. It turned out pretty nice and I think it is a shape and style I will copy.

I have a few more knock offs that I have thrown together. I was disappointed in the quality of the picture, so when I can a get a better photo, I will post some more pics.

The work you guys do is inspirational and humbling at the same time. Thanks a lot to you all.
