Or says one of the TFF pros!!!

The fish say otherwise. First fish in the new boat. Caught on a windblown point in 18FOW with a 6XD in Chartreuse Sexy Shad.

He went 5.7# @ 22.75"

And as usual, my picture is sideways!!!!

I've never heard that before, but my BassCat has a red hull (which is pretty rare) and I've had the best luck in this boat than any other boat I've owned. I'm actually scared to sale it, it's been so good to me. Lol.

Here's the red boat. I honestly don't think you could get any more red on it. I like it!

Thanks Ken! It is a Javelin.

Previous owner removed the decals for some reason. I will get some ordered and put on!

Guess they don't like black boats either. At least that's what I'm going with.

Had a 2015 FX20, it was cursed from the beginning, and then it got rear-ended in a construction zone on 1604 in San Antonio, no longer in possession of it.

OK, bass can (barely) see red in swimming pool water.
