As The Swimmer Turns!

Frank came over yesterday for a day of plug turning! One of Frank's favorite plugs is the Guppy Canal Pencils made by the Hess Family, great plugs for sure and a favorite of many! Frank took a 32 pounder one day last season from the ditch......one of my season highlights was watching Frank play that fish! This season Frank will be fishing his Guppy knockoffs I am sure! Here are a few pics of Frank at the lathe!

I, as well as many other people are lucky to call Bigfish a friend. Larry did most of the first one, then we split the second one, and he said he didn't look as I did the third one all myself, but I think Bigfish looked over my shoulder a little.

In that picture of me holding the two plugs I look strange. I think I was OD'ing on sawdust. Or the meds for the pulled back muscles were wearing off. Any way I had a wonderful day in the cave with Bigfish. Now I just have to keep from screwing up the paint job.
Peace everyone.
