Man, I'd never play poker with anyone who'd stick his fingers in the mouth of Red Eared Sunfish.

Ah, the story of "holdemplyer"... It's best told over some cold refreshments, a deck of cards & a stack of cash. Maybe an evening during PB IV.

The beast of a red ear put up a mighty fight on my 4wt after taking a bead head hare's ear nymph.

Alex aka Alejandro, aka TJ's Hispanic friend, aka Omaha's manual labor

"Bead head hare's ear nymph"........I'm now ashamed of myself for using a simple plastic.

Don't forget about the waxworm, Sparkie.

But you get credit for the 1/80oz jighead, and the 2# test.
And remember, you were fishing for "bream".

I nearly forgot about that Yolk. Those waxworms were hand selected by me just for this trip, on the basis of physical stamina, mental alertness, and intestinal fortitude.

Those wax worms survived all the way from Indiana in what appeared to be a red Skoal can.

Exactly. Not your average waxworm. Think Full Metal Jacket, by Stanley Kubrick. The training regiment was harsh.

If searching for a puck, you have to get the original one. They're made from heavy waxed cardboard and have a metal lid.

The ones I use are the ones made by Strikemaster. They have at least two sizes. Never heard of this original you speak of, but I'm searching the interwebs right now for it.

+1 on the Strikemaster bait pucks. I've driven over them while on the mule...no problem.

I'll just add that they are ideal for carrying waxies and spikes...my hands-down two favorite baits to tip for big BG's. All year round - not just in the winter. Those BG I caught at Bruce's were taken on the same setup I might use on the hardwater.

I seem to recall verbally abusing Alejandro about all the work he took to catch that first RES, and then he admitted he tipped his fly with a nub of nightcrawler.

I might have, I'm not concerned with being a "purist". hehe, Sunil said "nub".

Strikemaster makes a bait puck perfect for waxies and spikes, and a bigger one that works great for crawlers.

Effort is something left to those who don't have someone to bait their hooks for them.

I got the big night crawler one and the double lid small one both from Strike Master


Did not see a cardboard one.

Yeah, I was pleasantly surprised at the system we had going there! You do know that I laxed up on abusing you for not drinking on Saturday 'cause you were willingly baiting that jig for me, right?

I was just having fun watching you catch fish off that little shed. Whatever I could do to keep you going.
