First Bass on a homemade plug

Fish is 35" about 15ish, nothing special, and would have been returned but took the lead hook, and the rear grabbed deep in the gills, so I didnt want to take a chance of having it go belly up..

Plug is a dark grey with a purple belly, a bit or red around the eyes,

John,
In the background is the m/v Viking Queen, a 60' tour boat in Newport. part of a family buisnessm it is easier to clean fish at the dock than it is to do at the kitchen sink...
Fish were caught at BTail 7-10p Sat

Nice job Hound: I look forward to my first fish on a homemade
