One rod challenge. 7” taxi shad glide. If you don’t have confidence in something, keep it in your hand. If you want to purely get better at something, just keep it in your hand. If it’s a black and blue jig just keep it in your hand. The difference with the “big baits” is just the buy in is more expensive. Same mindset. All baits are just tools. It can be more fun to use an air ratchet instead of a box end wrench.
This is a solid 3 Younder but before this I had what I propose to be a 6-7 pounder come and grab this thing and just missed the hooks. Funny how they can do that.
Tight lines! Get out there!

It’s official, I am a USCG MMC Captain. 🧑‍✈️ this is what happens when I get bored during winter. LOL

\\Lew’s Warranty Experience\\
Purchased a Lew’s Custom XP for $100 when they were on sale back in June and have fished with its religiously since. A week ago, I went to cast a wacky rig and the rod snapped. Filed a claim that night on the Lew’s website. A lady, Amanda, replied by email within 30 minutes of submitting my claim. She requested that I chop the pole in half where the model number was located, take a photo of the cut with my claim number and email her those photos to complete the steps. Simple, just the way we like it. My claim was approved in less than 48 hours at full value to be used within 365 days. Great experience and would recommend Lew’s.

DON’T BE AFRAID TO SUBMIT YOUR CLAIM.

Got out for a couple of hours on the water today. This one was the best of the day, caught in less than 5 feet of water

Chickahominy River chatterbait competition when chasing bait schools! The eyes say it all.

Potomac River chatterbait fish. Found out the bass wanted the chatterbait Yo-Yo’d thru the grass to get a bite.

Always count on pin fish for a bite.
