Thanks! It's been fun fishing and catching a few on my own plugs. I got out last night for a few hours and got this one on a plug loosely based on a musso surface swimmer which I've never actually seen in person but found some info on here in the forum. I really enjoy fishing the metal lips but I drop a pretty good number of fish on them so they don't get thrown nearly as often as the needlefish.

Impressive. Great fish, great plugs, great work.

Another great one. Metal lips are my fav to fish especially along the islands amongst the rocks.

Jay , nothing like the thrill of catching on a piece of wood turned by ones self into a facsimile of bait. Congrats and nice work. P.S. Eelskin, my favorite color

Judging by the hook swing on that swimmer you fish it plenty and that is a well earned fish.

It is really cool to see someone who already was very accomplished with eels exploring what they can do with plugs.

Here is a recent fish on my squid needle, the second picture is the release, that picture looks awesome!

Hey George if you look close you can see your plugbag, loving it!

Nice fish and nice needle!

My biggest bluefish of the year from back in August. 17+ pounds on a JLH needlefish. I thought I had a monster bass on due to only having the single hook buried in its throat. Damn thing almost killed me on the fight.

Yup.... :as:

ask Piemma about the one I hooked at WFD 10 years ago in the back right at the dorsal... thought I had my 50

A more deserving guy for it would have been hard to find. I'm glad you ended up with it.

Catch a fish in sneakers. Guppy Pencil.

that's a healthy lookin blue devil

A 42-pounder from earlier in the year on a JLH needlefish.

I thought these pix were cool...I built a beefy darter for a windy spot with strong sweeping current. On this night the lure did its job.

Great feeling...... that first big hit on a plug of new design.

Thanks, and I agree numbskull

that was 3rd fish of night, first with my wood. Tide was dropping fast, and could not keep big bucktail (that cut wind) off bottom long enough to sweep through. It took several casts to cut wind, dig in, and sweep through...but when it did, BAM!

wish I had more time to build and test
