Oh yea, almost forgot to mention that bubble gum color hanging on a vintage steel rod by the fireplace that I retired after catching 63 Keeper crappie (not sure how many under or bass or bream) and going through at least half a dozen sickle ball head jigs...in the process (thank you 20 lb Braid). Funny thing about Laners baits, if you don�t scuff them up with some sandpaper, you have to catch a dozen fish before they get roughed up enough to get bit really fast...don�t ask me why, but I always got some plumbers wet sand paper in my box just for Laners baits....course it could just be me, but hey, whatever works, I will do...

AWESOME LANE !!!!

The biggest problem I have found with Laners baits are that they are near impossible to peel off a jig to change colors. Found it much easier to keep them rigged and retie if I want a change.

Awesome Post and some nice fish. Good job.

Awesome read about an epic day on the water.

Great post as always! Y�all are better men than I am to brave to cold weather. But you�ve gotten me cranked up now, time to go fishing! Thanks for sharing

great post! another example that crappie and baitfish can be almost anywhere, at any time,at any depth or temperature. those who think outside the box, fill the box !!!!

Looks like a cold job cleaning fish...

Nice goin!

If only you had a way with words!!

That's one of them days you [censored] on your buddies hand to warm em up!! And since we're buddies if your hands are ever cold let me know!!

P e e is blocked?? Dang!!!

Thank you all very much! I would have never thought the fishing would've been so good on a day like that, but I do love surprises. Fishing like this really boosted my confidence for finding fish that were actively feeding on bait, as opposed to fishing around structure like I always have in the past.

Evedince of �out of the box� instincts that make a guide top of his class.

Thanks for the post, a great read.

Very impressive
