Great fish Paul! Nice job!

Even a broken clock is right twice a day you Baztard. :rude:

was it like fishing in Alan's shoes watching Paul catch them and not you?
I'm sure you handled it well though George, you even took pictures :btu:

nothing better than fish on wood
wood is good
thanks for letting them go Paul, I hope they survive the gauntlet this year

Congrats Paul!!

Awesome fish, awesome plugs!!

This one wanted this ProfessorM plug too, I think Paul is becoming popular with the fish!

Stealing plugs out of the kids bag again ? :uhuh:

I have not had much chance to get out and fish this year but when a friend called and told me how good it was the night before, I had to go out once I got home early enough from a night out with the wife. I credit some good karma from donating 2 units of red blood cells that same day. It was a new moon and I tied on a black needle that I think was made and given to me by Diggin Jiggin Dave Ross.
My personal best from a beach(I have 3 40's from the canal) it went almost 46" and 35 lbs on the boga, she lives to fight another day. Thanks to Folifish for the photography and lighting :)

Nice fish. Way to go.

Yup, thats one of mine ! thanks for fishing it and posting the picture!

I've got one I caught on one of Georges needles I should post if i can find it.

One of george's Hab's clones, I have very goo dluck with those in yellow... It looked like maybe the tail hook pulled I landed it with the treble in the side of its head. I was Surprised it didn't pull.

It was maybe the fattest fish Ive ever caught. Pics suck, crappy cell phone... 38lbs and released...

nice fish guys. I saw Bruce's in person.
That will make George's day.

SWEET fish Dave, that thing is a real PIG! so fat it is round

thanks again for the plug, it will get abused after I copy it

Amazing.........and embarrassing a bit since I hardly ever fish those needles. Guess I'd better rethink that.

Here is a decent fish from a really good night several weeks back that ate a black danny. Been a banner year for danny plugs.

Nice fish George. A big fish on a metal lip is still on my bucket list but I don't fish them as much as I should.

That's a beauty for sure! Nice work!

Nice fish George.

Beautiful fish there George,and on a metal lip even better :btu:


I got this one on a plug I got from Johnny in 2006, one of 3 plugs from when he first began making plugs. I modified it then with some weight in the belly, and yesterday I added some lines on the sides with a sharpie.
It is offset turned and does a tight spook action. Sorry for the weird angle from a cell phone pic, the fish was fat and did not have a snook front end to it like it looks like. Anyway, great plug by a great guy! Johnny you rock.

Really cool Bruce.

This small darter from George kicked butt until a 26" fish got it stuck in my hand. With a friends help I pushed it through and cut it off, swam back, switch spots and got another fish on it.

Damn, sorry to see that.

Here's a nice fish on a big 8" needle I made last winter, experimenting with a low line tie. It seems like needles are turning into my 'go to' plug this year.

Nice job. That color needle your favorite too. Seen a bunch of fish caught this year on that color CCBay side.

Nice Frank. Ouch Frank.

Got this 41" bass on a pikie I made. It's a lose copy of a GRS, I handmade the lip and weighted it in the belly. Swims real nice.

Great catch. Congrats.

Sweet fish... great job on both the plug and catching that cow

I have been crushing all season on these 2 new plugs I have designed specifically for fishing from my kayak! Been doing 90% freshwater this season but they have been stellar from the salt as well! Had more fun with these 2 plugs this season than any other in recent memory!

Nice Ryan! That's a kick ass looking plug and a beauty of a fish.

Nice plug, nice fish, ugly fisherman.

Here is a 46.5 inch 26.5 girth striper caught on one of my dad's Stubby Needlefish (in black he built from Dave Anderson's Fisherman Magazine article years ago). First cast on it after 15 on a white magic swimmer (all shorts). I will never again say a full moon is too bright. Visited my dad at Bourne National Cemetery this week. Thought it only fitting to use one of his lures. Nice that he and I are in the same neighborhood. After the photo op she swam away fresh.

Cool story, beautiful fish HCFS. no tail hook?

Rarely use a tail hook on his stubby needle or his darters. After seeing almost all hits on front hook. One less hook to deal with in the dark for a quick and safe release. Do the same with some swimmers too (even plastics).

Sweet fish... your Dad is smiling down from above with that cow C&R

nice catch

As usual I fished a lot of bait this summer but now that tournament season is more or less over I've started putting in some time fishing the needles I made over the winter. Took a few outings to finally land anything on them, skunked once, and dropped a couple fish on another outing, but finally connected last night with fish of 22 and 30 pounds (and dropped another decent fish). Have to say that I'm not used to dropping so many fish, maybe that's why I don't usually fish plugs...
