Nice action! slug Lizard

Crank baits and nets never go well together. Promar makes a great folding net and they make a great rubber mesh net that is easy on the hooks, they just don't make a folding net with rubber mesh.

Thats sweet it took me weeks for my first hali on my yak congrats. I always thought those rapalas would be a lot stronger for the money you pay for them , the cudas always broke mine after 20 or so fish so i stoped useing them and started useing castmasters.

I did some of that, but I caught almost all of my fish today on the troll.

I was pretty surprised to see that flatty come up. I really want to get into a larger model.

That's a good tip on the kastmasters. I hadn't thought to use those in the salt.

It dives to 12 feet. It probably had its nose digging in the sand when I hooked that butt.

He measured 16 inches. Does that break any records?

I knew it was a bad idea as soon as I did it, but the fish was hooked pretty good and I knew i had to bring it on board. I guess I should of picked up a fish grip.
