NICE BLACK BASS

[FUTCHCAIRO]

JUST BEFORE LUNCH TODAY, I WAS HOT AND WANTED TO STOP MOWING, WENT OVER TO THE POND AND TRIED OUT SOME OF THOSE KNOCK - OFF YO-SURI PLUGS WE BOUGHT FROM WALLY WORLD SEVERAL DAYS AGO. I KNOW THEY CATCH TROUT JUST LIKE THE REAL THING, DIDN'T KNOW IF FREASH WATER BASS WOULD INHALE THEM TOO. I CAST SEVERAL TIMES AND HAD SOMETHING SWIRL AT THE PLUG WHEN I WOULD LET IT SET FOR A MINUTE, THEN JUST PULL IT THROUGH THE WATER EASY. ON THE THIRD CAST, IT DIDN'T HIT THE WATER GOOD AND A 3# BLACK BASS INHALED IT. I HAD TO BEND THE HOOK TO GET THE PLUG BACK OUT OF HER MOUTH, SHE HAD THE WHOLE PLUG DOWN INTO THE GILLS. SINCE SHE WAS INJURED I CLEANED HER AND PUT HER IN THE FRIGD, WE WILL HAVE HER FOR SUPPER TONIGHT.

Hey, Pa, I bought a couple of those same plugs. First time I fished it in the pond, a big o'l bass about 4 lbs. grabbed it. He made it to the bank and shook the plug free . What I noticed is that the Wal Mart plug runs deeper when brought straight in. Enjoy your fish.

HEY DIXIE, I JUST TURN THE HANDLE, REAL SLOW SO THEMINNOW JUST WIGGLES A LITTLE. I WENT BACK OVER TO THE POND ABOUT 1 HOUR AGO, CAUGHT 3 MORE BASS ABOUT 3-4 # AND A NICE BIG SPECKLE PERCH. JUST FINISHED CLEANING THEM. A WEEK AGO YOU COULD NOT GET OUT OF THE HOUSE FOR THE MOSQUITOES, DIDN'T NOTICE ANY THIS EVENING. I JUST HOPE THE MARTINS ARE HERE AND DOING THEIR JOB.

That is very cool! Those knock-off plugs are most likely made in the same Chinese prison as the real ones.
