Tube Dude,
Sorry about the delay in answering your reply but have been off line. Wow a 23 lb. Brown! Where did you catch him and what on? My best is just shy of 22 lbs. caught at Buckboard on a rapala way back in 1977.
In answer to your other question about Ray Johnson, I have run into him on several occasions. He has actually come out with 3 different lures. The third one has been developed for about 3 or 4 years but has never hit the market for some reason. His first lures were the most common and I know several people that have tried them over the years. I still have some and have caught several fish on them. I have caught lakers and lots of rainbows on them. The small ones seem to work the best. They are pretty touchy to tune but it can be done. There is a picture of the new ones on the map that he came out with about 3 years ago.
You really do a teriffic job with all the jigs you make! You must spend a lot of time on them. They look great.
