Thanks! It's been fun fishing and catching a few on my own plugs. I got out last night for a few hours and got this one on a plug loosely based on a musso surface swimmer which I've never actually seen in person but found some info on here in the forum. I really enjoy fishing the metal lips but I drop a pretty good number of fish on them so they don't get thrown nearly as often as the needlefish.

Judging by the hook swing on that swimmer you fish it plenty and that is a well earned fish.

It is really cool to see someone who already was very accomplished with eels exploring what they can do with plugs.

A more deserving guy for it would have been hard to find. I'm glad you ended up with it.
