First Plug, first cast....

...caught a bass.

Friday evening on a rocky shoreline I cast this plug (I hope I posted the picture correctly) and caught a nice 20" schoolie on the first cast of the night. a heckuva feeling.

The plug was my first off the lathe and this was the first time I cast one of my own. The paint is white with a purple haze, a white bucktail with four white and one red feather.

I have sat and watched and hopefully learned something from the amazing work you all are putting out there.

Go Bears!

Sorry, this pic was too big the first time (probably still not the right size but here goes).
