That sounds like my whoops ratio ;make 32 and hope I don't step on more than 9...

That's a relief! Just finished 2colors, 2 or 3 to go. I don't hate them in fact I like them a lot so far, it's just that I'm never satisfied with my work. It's so hard to keep up with you guys.

Painted 30 flaptails, a few atoms and a mouse (freshwater) tonight. I dunno how you guys do runs of 100 or 200 plugs. They're not perfection but Im pretty sure the bass'll like em

Domination takes full concentration..

Fred, youre to hard on yourself. I used to buy Gibbs seconds from Stan and John and they caught just as well as the in package stuff. 'Sides Fred yours catch and that's the most important part ain't it? Bigfish talks reverently about your black Danny on "his" beach all the time!

Why even try.........

That was a career night. I want another like that. I've been fishing that beach at that spot since I was 12 or so. Use to ride my bike ( brand new from the Truro dump) over from my Grandparent's house on Bay View Road. About 1964. That was my BEST night. Fishing with good friends and catching with my own wood. Perfect! The fellow next to me, SeaMonkey?, was out fishing me left and right.
