This one was 35.6# caught today on a Mac canal cut that I hoed one day at Race point. When I got it from him it was obviously worn, and he told me it had good mojo. That day, I caught a fish on my first cast. Well, today I caught my biggest fish ever on top water! Thanks Mac!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

he told me it had good mojo. Thanks Mac!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A "Mac" plug for sure. :hihi:

My brother Rick can vouch for me it was the red eye, white top, grey belly canal cut popper that I hoed from him last Sept on Race Point when the mung was so thick, you could have easily built a mung castle on the shore. The blues were crazy that day. Back Beach Jake was there too. Anyway, today, once I put that plug on, I first landed that one, landed two more keepers on it, lost another comprable doozy, and lost another nice fish in close on it. I wish I had a shot of the plug in the pic. Thanks Mac! Ricky will speak up but he doesn't have to work tomorrow and I'm sure will be where I was today. Later, Mikey

Nice fish brother. How long was the defrost

a fat 43"

Show the plug, Mikey, pleaaaaaaase!

My camera is busted, hence the cell phone pic. I'll try and manage something. The plug is perty banged up looking right now. I saw some fish breaking today, got excited, casted into a branch and somehow knocked the tail trebble off one of the tripple splits. All and all a sloe day. A few highlights of fish busting on shad. I lost a decent fish. Landed one 27" fish on a 3oz white Habs pencil. Those things cast a mile and have great action!! I actually had one nice fish jump completely out of the water after it on the prior cast. I think I'm taking the day off on May 1st.
