[cool][#0000ff]Thanks fer the kindly comments on my "handiwork". I have been working with various lures, paints, glitters and techniques for quite a few years and I would like to think I am finally learning how to do something right. The fish approve, so that's what counts.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]My big brownie came on a large orange Rapala, right at daybreak on a cold nasty March day. We were trolling with long rods and light lines, right next to a wall. I think I remember it was in Sheep Creek Canyon, south of the Antelope Flat campground where we were staying. It got a lot warmer and nicer when that big mama slammed my lure.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]I never did buy and try any of Ray's stuff. It looked pretty nasty when it first hit the market, and I had not heard of anyone catching any decent fish on them. I'm not surprised that people do catch something with them. Stupid fish will hit almost anything sometimes. I have made a lot of "gag" lures, and caught fish with them.[/#0000ff]
