Yea those bay rat take a licking and keep catching, I had a 39" northern smack the goby rat, he had it right back in the corner of his mouth maybe a 15 minute vicious fight on 50# power pro, the rat survived only teeth marks. Congrats to your catch, I bet you thought the same thing as I when I had a drum just about spool me out in Lake Erie, after I saw it I was disappointed but it was fun!!! The shirts are cool, let us know when you get them in. I need a XL.

I wish you the best, with your new & improved business, this post really hits home for me. My dad and I started in business together in 1983 I was 17 then and he knew more about the starters and alternators than I, as we grew older together the roles changed as he retired and I took over the show in 93. Then he worked for me just to say it was always a 50/50. We worked side by side 6 days a week never did we ever have a bad day, on weekends we were together, we went to fly in trips to Canada fishing together. I had the best dad ever!! Not only were we father and son we were best friends. Dad passed away at age 75 after battling cancer for 3 years, his last words were, please take care of that beautiful wife of yours and my twin grand babies who were only 2 then. I think it's awesome you show respect and confidence both in your dad and yourself, that will be the best tool in your shop and the road to success!!! Keep us posted on your progress to another American made lure company, Adam. Best of luck to you, your father and your grandfather, your a lucky man to have 3 generations of knowledge working together, lots of wisdom for you to consume for a young man but I'm sure you'll do just fine.

Well I like to say "cranking in all those fish tuckered out the little guy" but the long day might of got the best of him, either way it's nice to see the kids in fishing photos!!! Kudo's to you dad for taking him along, they don't really care as long as they think there're the big cheese going with dad on the big water!! Hopefully next time will have more action, nice post,

Gotcha, thanks buddy!!! Did you guys get the monsoons up there as we did, wow did we get wind and rain, an actuall tornado touched down about a mile from us, pretty damn scary, I've never in all my life saw the sky as black and weird looking grayish clouds hanging down like a giant spiderweb, I bet we got 5 inches of rain from 3:pm till 3:am this morning, I didn't sleep a wink last night. You know something is wrong when the dog is acting strange, being a beagle he's not bothered by the loud thunder but he just sat between the girls and wouldn't move, they can sence when something is wrong, I'm convinced of that!!

That's a sweet ride, they handle big water very well, there's a reason the coast guard uses them, good luck with your sale!!!

Thanks for the heads up from both of you guys, Kevin you just make a loop at the top and that's it? So your main line hooks to the top loop and the leader just snaps to the wire, like a free slider kind of??

Excellent job guys, that's a lot of pure dedication and some engineering, those bottom bouncers look awesome Prof.T, like Kevin stated, take the 90* bend up at least a foot above your top cap and that will be Dynamite!!! I like them so much I'm going to make some. Thanks for the pic. That was very nice of you.

Congrats to your slammer day!!! That was more that a walleye chop you had to fish in but it paid off!!! Nicely done H&C'em the one year we were 1 shy of a 3 man ticket it was a wind driven rain day with waves breaking over the bow, looking back you almost needed a few screws loose to be out there to begin with, matter a fact we noticed this bigger white boat getting closer and closer till we noticed it was the Coast Guard in their big Grady White. First they asked if we were alright second they wanted to see our fish, the one Guard was amazed with our catch, then they advised us to head in as there was a small craft advisory in effect so we never got our limit. It was the smart thing to do, get off the water that is.
