Did you land the fish? $20 bucks is a small price to pay for a DD. No, he jumped off at the boat. Wasn't a giant, probably 9ish. "Wasn't a giant". Lol. Ike would have [censored] himself over and over. His boat wouldn't have been big enough to run back n forth without fallin overboard haulin in 9 pounders.
Eat. Sleep. Fish.

If I hooked a 9 at any other lake, including Fork, I would be calling it a biggun. You don't go to CB to catch a 9 pounder though. That place will absolutely change your perception of what you call a Giant

That place will absolutely change your perception of what you call a Giant Ken, I know what you meant lol it's a tough position to have caught 15lbers. Most fish after that seem smallish. And knowing a possible upper teener is a cast away at CB is crazy.

Buy a thumper problem solved and they catch more fish!! Will do Jake! I think I owe Alex lunch anyways! I'm always down for lunch, but it should be the other way around on who gets the check.  I had an amazing battle with that 9.36 last weekend on the Thumper. She twisted, turned and pulled like a train. We got her in and went back to chunking. I know the Thumper is only a 1/3 of the price, but I don't sacrifice on any components to get there. I buy American-made snaps directly from the manufacturer. Going to try to test it out on something bigger than 9 tomorrow!

We can argue over who pays when the bill arrives.

I have some 80# Berkley Crosslock snaps I want to put on the baits but I am concerned about it having an adverse effect on the action of the bait. The bait comes with the Japanese Decoy snaps that have a more rounded shape than the Crosslocks.

If it has the slight turned up nose on the blade. The effect of a larger snap is minimal. If your blade has the slot for the second hole it makes it easier to install. If it does not you will work your self into a frenzy. Both sides of the snap must be distinguished to get it through the holes. I am building you a Magnum Baby Doll Chatter for CB.
