I'm not dead yet....but close.

Hit this real solid 20# class fish(fish was built like a brick) on my old reliable white needle recently. Its actually a modified gag's style body with my signature exfoliating paint...fish like it though:

It's not the bait
At the end of your line
It's the fishing hole
Where all the fish is blind

nice fish. the gag's needles fish really well - until they fall apart which unfortunately doesn't take long at all.

I hear that the new owner/operator of the company (24/7 Lures ?) has figured out the finish issues.

My best ever plug fish courtesey of one of George's yellow/white hab's knockoffs he gave me at plugfest a couple of years ago... That plug would be retired if I hadn't lost it later that night... 41 lbs and released... George if you're making more this winter I need a replacement

Congrats on the fish, kudos for letting her swim, and credit to Habs.
