The seas were rough and angry my friends, kind of like the lady that loses her marble rye to some young thug. I went to the dock and choose George's home-made beauty as the first offering. I got a hit or two on the first couple of casts and then on the third a rainbow nailed it. The drag was singing like Gordon Godfried and this guy put up a great fight. When I wrestled him onto the dock he measured a nice 18" - biggest RB I've ever caught! I was so pleased that I had him for dinner. I mentioned the "sissy swivel thingie", well look what happen right after I got my RB on the dock. The swivel opened and the RB was loose on the dock with the lure in his mouth - my whole life flashed before my eyes!! After me and RB confirmed dinner plans, I tried Paul's lure. I got a couple of hits but didn't catch anything. It has fantastic action and should be great for bass. I caught trout about the same size as the one above on Bruce's jig, and with the silver spoon (also a 10" bass). All in all a lot of fun. Wish the pictures were better, but I was by myself and trying to be careful. I'll send the box to Eric in MS tomorrow Good luck to all. Randy
