God Bless Stan Gibbs. A clone of his 2.75 oz pencil. A "must have" plug. I was the guy with the camera, not the rod.

A bass on a surf howdy clone PlugFest swap plug from Lower. This plug was a joy to cast and "swam" great. (Nice work man)

LOL. Don't let G fool you he was fishing one too and I even think it may have been his idea. Plus he even kept my darter. One note the fishing was so completely awesome I think we probably could have used bare hooks and caught fish.

The fog in Buzzards' Bay and around the Pigs has been so thick lately, it is hard to get out. I took my shakedown trip to the Pigs and caught 8 bass. Most were keepers but nothing to brag about. The whole reef was loaded with birds and bass swimming right along side the boat while I was trolling.

Great fish Paul!

Nice fish guys....The stripers are definitely biting better than the muskies. the lakes don't even have defined weed edges yet...cold spring.

Nice work Chris!

Crappy picture of a fat guy in a wetsuit with a low 20 bass (the fish is rotated) on a sweet little 1.5oz musso darter clone. This is a smaller darter than the little ones I gave out at plugfest. Runs deeper. I like the plugfest versions better (a white one has been my best plug this year), but this smaller one looks like it has lots of potential as well.

The O.d. Mike Pencil.

Mike gave me this pencil during the summer.
First day with it , third cast had my first fish of the morning on it. Had several other smaller fish on it that morning and lost one bigger fish when one of the vmc's straightened.

There are some more pictures out there of fish I caught on it , but I have no idea where they are.

Finished up the season on a high note with this one. Some kind soul took pity on me and brought me along for the ride last week. Absolutely perfect day, great company, and a bunch of nice fish.

This one took a 1.75 oz pollack pencil I made back in the spirng and had pretty much given up on before the trip.

Fish was incredibly fat and fought like hell with the light gear we were using. It pulled the chatillion down below the 30# mark before we revived her, then turned her loose.

It's not the bait

It's the fishing hole
