3 bass on Bill 's lures (my dad) that I caught this weekend. Have not been fishing too much earlier this season, but started more frequently recently. Great to catch fish on his lures.
One from MV on his Lido Flaptail (lure almost as big as the fish). One on his classic black darter. The last was on his Purple Pencil popper. Fish absolutely devoured it. All released healthy.

My plug works !

First cast this monster jumped on...

The plug is 8" long, and a bigged up copy of the Twisted Flaptail, sans flap, and weighted to walk the dog. Atlantic white cedar with no belly weight, just tail.

Nice one G. and Woodrow and hardcore

No camera this morn but I got a 25 lber on one of my small Musso copy darters with the concave slope in canal. Took several fish on it actually but the others were not real noteworthy. It was cool and something I will use more often.

Scary how bass will try to devour something it would probably choke on. Gorgeous fish and gorgeous plugs! Now this is making me hungry....

Goo Goo Man handcarve, first cast with it. Too pretty to fish, but that's what he built it for and this is what happened.

Great work, Glen. All I had to do was throw it out there.

Here is one my son took on the old dependable purple skinny donny. Just an incredible plug for night time bass.

Hit this real solid 20# class fish(fish was built like a brick) on my old reliable white needle recently. Its actually a modified gag's style body with my signature exfoliating paint...fish like it though:

nice fish. the gag's needles fish really well - until they fall apart which unfortunately doesn't take long at all.

I hear that the new owner/operator of the company (24/7 Lures ?) has figured out the finish issues.

My best ever plug fish courtesey of one of George's yellow/white hab's knockoffs he gave me at plugfest a couple of years ago... That plug would be retired if I hadn't lost it later that night... 41 lbs and released... George if you're making more this winter I need a replacement

Nice catch!

I'm still puzzled as to why you crop the handsome lad's face (obviously got his looks from your better half) out of all your pics but leave your mug in???

This is a skill not all can claim to have. If you look close you can see the plug is 3/4 it's body length. Takes a precision presentation.

Thanks George, I actually drove by Pauls house yesterday and it looked like him in the driveway but I was in a hurry and couldn't stop to chew the fat.

Kinda interesting. This past week I've had trouble catching fish with surface swimmers and pencils, done mediocre with spooks and big poppers, but they have absolutely been crushing Paul's flaptail. The poor little thing is getting all beat up.
