Here is one of several recent bass on my Dad Bill's needlefish

After seeing all your work at Plugfest Bill really got into the scaling effect that he saw you guys doing so he made this 9 inch 2 1/2 oz green needle. It has gold scaling effect, his signature red throat and a cream belly. Casts really great. Floats and makes a great V wake. I picked up this 31 incher Sunday night and a 28 incher Monday morning. As you may know bass have been tough to come by on the Vineyard lately (also got a 31.99 incher -just under Derby size-on one of his black darters as well 2 weeks ago). His plugs keep producing, still looking for a really big fish on one. Maybe in RI during the MS Surf Challenge next weekend or Tri-State the following weekend. He is working on a few more black darters now, still going strong. He also does micro glitter since he saw that at Plugfest.
This "Hospitality Bass" became filets for the friend who provided the weekend room for me this weekend and 2 weekends ago.
