The pursuit (where are the fish), rigs design and setup, scouting, the awesome feeling of casting your rigs 100+ yards out, the total focus on the fish and the elements, the outdoors... the total exhaustion at the end of your fishing day,... the cooler full of fish to bring home... Yeah, I'm going to miss bank fishing!

Nice video Dennis, you silver tongued devil! LOL Maybe next time you could go into how you rig, and, how you weight the Mepps for being able to fish it deeper than 5-10ft.... Thanks again! I fish with Mepps in 30+ fow all the time, without any weights. I only weight them if I am using a #2 or #3. They key is a good reel, and light line. Check out Dennis's post. He has a lot of info on the technique.

Dennis your video and information on usuing the Mepps #4 is greatly appreciated i bought several at Gander Mt in Tyler , don`t have it down yet on catching the fish butmi`m working on it . I hope you make some more video`s real soon , you have some good information. I don`t believe anyone else can catch 19 on 20 cast that has to be a record! I would like to see that.

@Coachzee: Thanks to you and the others for your kind words! I did get an article written by Ray Sasser of the DMN in 2009 about the Mepps technique I use. I had pointer to it in my signature block for a while. Here is what Ray wrote:

Ok, now this is gonna sound odd to some, but I have a boat on Ray Hubbard, and a bunch of Mepps Spinners. I've been wanting to do this for a while, but here is the problem. I have a sail boat. And I am not that much of a sailor. But I thought I could troll a couple of level line reels/rods in holders with leadcore and a leader with a Mepps, just use the jib, and just keep it to a couple of miles and hour and catch whites and stripers. I don't want to anchor. Are the fish so stacked up this wouldn't work? I'm not really into electronics. I know...I should have bought a different kind of boat, but the thing makes such a great man cave in the marina throughout the year. Anybody want to go out with me and try this? All I need from a sailing perspective is someone to hold the tiller into the wind when I raise and lower the sail. I can handle the rest with a little help. Sailing experience would not hurt.

Can someone explain how the Feds count recreational Red Snapper catch?
