During the first outing with that colored darter I outfished my good friend Rob "Bobcat" Taylor something like 6 to one. I made the mistake of showing it to Kadir and haven't seen the plug since, hence I had to paint more. Word got out and here it is.
You know what really amazes me about Chartreuse is that it doesn't appear naturally in any form of fish that bass would eat as food, yet it's a top color in plugs and flies for bass. Go figure?

Keep up the good work Mike.

Why even try.........
