I love watching you fish man. You do a great job of explaining what you are doing (or the fish are doing) while you go after them. Especially when the money is in the game. You can make up anything ya want, but when that kinda cheese is on the table, that's when all the tricks come out... solid work brother

Have you ever had luck throwing a wedge style tail for lakes herring in them? I have never been to lakes with herring but I’ve heard people say that a wedge imitates a herring better with that tighter action. Also, looking forward to seeing what you can do at fork!
