Fish Baton

So my company had a baseball themed sales award night not that long ago and one of the prizes they gave out were small Louieville Slugger bats with the person's name on it and what their award was. Well, one of the salesmen didn't want his so he gave it to me. I thought, this is perfect for a fish bat. So away I went to customize it.

Calling fishing a hobby is like calling brain surgery a job. ~Paul Schullery

There he stands, draped in more equipment than a telephone lineman, trying to outwit an organism with a brain no bigger than a breadcrumb, and getting licked in the process. ~Paul O'Neil, 1965

But then I decided that I wanted to paint it like a lure, I mean after all, what's more ironic than a huge lure knocking out a fish

That's pretty neat, good idea
it reminds me of a Big Jake plug by M&M

I have never seem to have the time to mess around like that, gotta change that soon

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.

1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!

It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.
