Chumbucket came to plugnight tonight and you missed what he brought with him

He is still working on crazy plug swap plugs from 2004 swap and he brought one complete and the rest need bucktail or fish hair or whatever but wait till you see these works of art

I have never seen such a beautiful plug in my life and I don't see how anyone can top this, absolutely amazing. You think the gary2/chum combos sent to some auctions were amazing? wait till you see these

Bassmaster was in tears

that he wasn't in on the swap.

Matt, you certainly are the cream of the crop when it comes to sick plugs, unbelievable.

Had a great time tonight, thanks a bunch for all your work Larry, good time by all.

Cranium · 08-25-2005, 04:53 AM

I will second and third slip's notion. I looked at that for at least 10 minutes with my mouth open in awe. Great plugs.

NIB · 08-25-2005, 05:32 AM

vineyardblues · 08-25-2005, 07:27 AM

I can't imagine ever reaching that bar ...Chum Plug should be brought to museum of fine art ... no exageration .. Everyone who was in that swap gets one he told me then took my address... BM looked sick and weak all night ... Bastadge how many times you enter and drop out of that swap ? I'd put my head in a vice if i was you .. Like tearing up the winning lottery ticket .. Take 2 aspirin and go to bed ..

MAC · 08-25-2005, 05:31 PM

That is the most unbelievable plug I have ever seen. Can't wait to get mine

bassmaster · 08-25-2005, 07:08 PM

Chum is unreal. He actually didn't show me those plugs till we got there - probably thought I would push him out of the car and run off with the box of plugs.

VB, Slip and everyone else I met and talked to, thanks for making us feel welcome. The evening was great - the plugs, the presentation and everything.
It was worth the trip. The raffle prize made it even more amazing.
Hope to visit again soon.

vineyardblues · 08-26-2005, 09:06 AM

Arnie , did you guy's catch any fish ?

VB

ps. Is it true you only bought 1 ticket ? lol nice to meet u as well

Arne P · 08-26-2005, 09:56 AM

VB,
We stopped by the Canal and did get some bass. Nothing real big, but lots of fun.
I bought all of 6 tickets.

Had to have enough for gas back home.

As I told you earlier in the evening, I'm not used to winning anything. My luck seems much better up there.

Thanks again.

chumbucket · 08-26-2005, 04:52 PM

Thanks for all the comps...what a great Plug Nite you Mass bassers have. Got to see old friends and new pluggage. Learned some more plug fishing tech from Flaptail's presentation and even caught some fish at the Canal after the meeting.

chumbucket · 08-26-2005, 04:53 PM

Canalman, I have your address in Westport...same now? Will be sending the plugs out ASAP.
Chum

chumbucket · 08-26-2005, 05:22 PM

One of your evil Canal bushes snuck up behind me during a cast and snagged my jig so it snapped off into the dark water. Luckily it was one of those big Storm pogies and not a custom plug.
Arne P was so lucky he doesn't loose anything to the Canal gods and he even found a perfect Gibbs mac.pattern pencil popper in the rocks

Tagger · 08-26-2005, 05:31 PM

Hi Chum !!!

I can't sleep .. did I really see what i thought i saw.?

Karl F · 08-26-2005, 05:47 PM

Amazing stuff, was nice ta meet you, and I am still trying to relocate my jaw back up offa the floor.. un-real, actually way too real....

Backbeach Jake · 08-26-2005, 07:29 PM

Please somebody, anybody some pictures. Chum, you have any? Folks don't believe me when I tell them. I need a Kodak moment!

CAL · 08-26-2005, 08:12 PM

I swear for a few seconds I thought they were real, till I saw a metal lip on one of them

Squid kids Dad · 08-26-2005, 08:40 PM

I thought they were real also...FreaKin AWESOME....

tobias · 08-26-2005, 10:28 PM

I've got two pictures, one of the lure itself and another one with Chum holding it. Not the greatest quality since it was taken with my camera phone but impressive nontheless! I'll wait for Chum to post or unless you guys want to really see it, I'll post them.

thefishingfreak · 08-26-2005, 11:20 PM

make 'em wait.

pops · 08-27-2005, 12:12 AM

Tagger · 08-27-2005, 06:50 AM

don't post cell phone pic .. even good pic won't do justice.. let Chum decide when he's ready ... no pressure Chum .. who knows how many hours a plug these took .. pic gotta be good,, I'd like multiple pics at different angles..

tobias · 08-27-2005, 07:59 AM

pops · 08-27-2005, 03:41 PM
