Until I catch a state or world record, I'm gonna keep throwing that crank!!! If I'd have kept the crankbait I caught a 10lb 13 oz on 3 weeks ago I may not have caught the other 10lb'r less than 5 cast later and then another 10 the next day. God gave me 2 ears and 1 mouth so I listen twice as much as I talk

I dont think I even re-tied after a 10-7 last week(80#braid). Now when that SAL finally bites I may re-concider! " Used to Chase giant's on Lake Austin & Town Lake "

The proven lures that just seem to catch more fish, those are the lures that David Fritts says he won't sell for $1000/ lure. I have a box and a half o them, PROVEN great fish catchers. I have given soem to friends, but I keep most of them in special places in plano boxes, marked as special. Tight lines, keep safe and good luck. Thad Rains Tight lines, keep safe and good luck.
