Here are a couple of pics. I got my first fish on a new larger needle that I was working on over the winter. Also my first fish on a variation of the musso maple swimmer I've been messing around with.

Crap! And there I was all happy catching 8" bass.

ProfessorM 05-24-2016 08:36 PM

Those are some quality fish. Congrats. I haven't even made a cast yet.

Spotty but finding a few. Slim darter I was messing with over the winter and a slow sink maple needle.

The Musso maple style swimmer has quickly become a favorite of mine. The original yellow prototype that I had been fishing is now retired after getting me a new personal best but it’s been replaced in the bag with a copy that will hopefully be just as productive.

Congrats Jay!

Congrats Jay, that's the 'holy grail' of fish on a homemade right there...

Epic fish Jay!

pbadad 06-12-2016 06:53 AM

Great fish J. What an accomplishment catching on a piece of wood formed by one's hands.

JLH 06-12-2016 12:56 PM

Thanks everyone! It was a very special fish, especially coming on a plug that I had built. Felt really good seeing her swim off, maybe we will meet again in few years.

Beggars can't be choosers.
That's a big darter, too.

If you could catch blue crabs you might be on to something...

When you're hot you're hot.
Notice how he automatically holds it out towards the camera to make it look even bigger.

Nebe 06-19-2016 12:22 PM

What a beast !

Pretty fish...notice how the back hook wasn't a factor even with that beast ;)

Yup took all my skills to land the beast. My drag was set pretty tight so it only took me down to the backing twice. I doubt he will be hitting any flaptails in the future.
