whats your best on one of your own ?
I seem to be spending all of my time downstairs, spinning wood I hope will tempt a few big fish. Got me to wondering, what's the best you or one of your friends has gotten on your own wood? Have any of you gotten a 40 or 50 on your own stuff?
My personal best last year was only 38" on a fat black danny, my dad got a 42-43" on one of my danny's, and we both lost fish one night that I'm betting would have pushed 40#'s. Both fish hit dannies on the same cast, mine managed to leverage the trebles open while it was still running and my dad's broke him off after a 20 min stalemate.
We were all excited to go back the next night looking for a rematch, and 1/2 way up the beach there's a rope across the trail, closed for the stinkin birds and it's like a 2+ mile walk from there...

Very good question, My biggest on one of my own was 37 pounds from the surf on a yellow pencil popper. However the biggest tournament fish caught on one of mine was 47 pounder out of the canal by Joe B. black/silver pencil.

I've taken several in the 20's on my poppers and one around 26# on the 1st needle I ever made... Biggest fish I know of that were taken on lures I made were caught by tlapinski at cutty... he had 3 or 4 fish in the mid 30 pound range on my pencil popper in one weekend. That's almost better than catching them yourself.

I don't keep all that many fish each year so I will guess that my best on one of my own plugs was around 20 pounds on needles. I did have one bass last fall on one of my own topwater plugs in the canal that looked to be mid 20's but I did not weigh it, just released so I could get the plug back out there.
I get larger fish on jigs in the canal usually.
Someday I'll pass 30 pounds on a plug.

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.
1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!
It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

I don't know Larry, it was dark that night, maybe 1 or 2 might have been a pound or 2 over 20 pounds but none of them reached 40" so it's hard to say.I still have that warrior needle You may have got some better.
