Replied. You're a heck of a guy.



You are welcome, bud. I have done quite well on the top jig lately and interested to see if the success translates to a different body of water. The bottom is a jig I've wanted to try forever but just haven't gotten around to it; anxious to see how it does, too. Enjoy, my friend!

- and this last picture wasn't staged:

The fish fought coming up and slung the 2nd jig into himself (notice, it's stuck through the bottom of his lip). However, when I pulled the fish out of the water, both jigs were in his mouth. I can't win the contest but really thought it was unique to see both jigs in one fish's mouth and wanted to share the picture.

I've had a few people mention to me that people could be dishonest and cheat with this photo contest. I'm well aware of that and all I can say is that's their call. If someone has the audacity to steal a prize from fellow fishermen and steal $100 of products from me.... so be it.... God be with them. I PRAY for people like that. I appreciate the concern but truly hope anyone reconsiders before being dishonest.

Caught on a private, spring-fed pond. Not fair, but his new 'yak makes for a great picture. He didn't even know there was a contest and is a long-time family friend. Notice the jig in the middle of the picture.

Good stuff.

Hello Jerry T! I'm new to the forum, but I have enjoyed reading posts the last few years. I had an opportunity to meet Mr. Matt Carroll several weeks ago at my daughter's track meet. He is such an awesome guy! I see you have been in great company over the years! You are producing some awesome jigs and I hope to be posting some pics soon! Keep up the good work!

Welcome to the forum. I lurked around on here for years before registering this account, lost my first one.

I really do appreciate your kind words and support and couldn't agree more, Matthew is a heckuva man to learn from.

Thank you, sir, I look forward to the pictures.

Repeat client Larson smashing his personal bests today. He's a natural!

The best picture I have seen any where, the smile and fish are going to be hard to beat. Good fishing Larson

Sorry Jerry, I do apologize for not reading through the rules. Larson was not using hand ties today. Please disregard my post for the contest. He did however accomplish his goal today and had a blast..

Dangit, Tommy! That was a heckuva picture, buddy! I thought you got Larson on those hogs on the Bluegrass jigs I sent... Hah!

Thanks for trying!

Only one entry I have today (Michael M.):


My daughter (yesterday, not an entry):

Cought on the fire fly

Looks like my spawning time tandems will be your pink grasshopper and one from my box of jigums...

Thanks for the jigs, I will be fishing them this weekend. Will let you know how we do.

Did a little fishing after work. Didnt have to much time before sunset, but i wanted to try out some of my new jigs.
