				 | Here are a couple of pics.  I got my first fish on a new larger needle that I was working on over the winter.  Also my first fish on a variation of the musso maple swimmer I've been messing around with. |

				 | The Musso maple style swimmer has quickly become a favorite of mine.  The original yellow prototype that I had been fishing is now retired after getting me a new personal best but it’s been replaced in the bag with a copy that will hopefully be just as productive. |

Does your incessant whining make you feel better?  How about you just shut the hell up and suck it up? It's a fishing forum , so please just stop.

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.

				 | Thanks everyone!  It was a very special fish, especially coming on a plug that I had built.  Felt really good seeing her swim off, maybe we will meet again in few years. |

				 | When you're hot you're hot.  Notice how he automatically holds it out towards the camera to make it look even bigger.

				 | Yup took all my skills to land the beast. My drag was set pretty tight so it only took me down to the backing twice. I doubt he will be hitting any flaptails in the future.Posted from my iPhone/Mobile device
