I was thinking about this recently I use mostly black nickel hooks. They are hardened. They bent and it distrusts the hardening. If you ever watch that knife making show, after beating and bending the metal, they heat it up until it's glowing then drop the blade either into water or cold...

Here's a few things I've learned 1/. Color only matters when it matters. But when it matters, it really matters. Meaning iterate through different colors until you find the magic one. Some days they all work 2/. Size matters. Sometimes. Ever had a full meal, then you couldn't help yourself...

I tie a small collar of beaver hair around a tail of bear hair. Call them Bear Beaver jigs lol

Great tips. Especially #6. One reason why I'm so secretive about my fishing spots

We'll have to agree to disagree. Just spent 8 days in Northern Quebec and never had one failure from the hook. But did have smallies break the 15#. Had to watch your line like a hawk up there. Smallies got teeth up there. Bass thumb on day 1 and torn skin on day 2 As far as a thin wire...

Let me get back to you. Dad passed and his funeral planing is taking time away from fishing stuff

Dr Keith Jones wrote in Knowing Bass that the perfect length is 4" But as some have noticed, he did all of his fishing in tanks in the Berkley test facility

Luv bear! Smallies do too

I'm fishing 15# 832 too Tried the 10# but the sharp rocks & ledges on the rivers I fish tore it up Thx for the tip but I'll stick with the 114s because I have confidence in them and they stick good

I gotta pix somewheres, but lost a huge flat head catfish recently on a Gami 114 2/0 worm hook. Fish had to be at least 40 pounds. Bent the hook clean at a 90d bend right at the bend of the hook. Still got a long fight out of the hook, so I was happy. But I was good with that because I've...

Good luck Bo You'll find yourself busy in retirement. I retired about a year ago and have never been busier.

Nice tip - thx

Nice Fish out here like a contrast - that'll do it

Nice Tight lines

Fish were chasing. Drop it in front of their noses and they bite.

Nope Fluke Not even the secret color swim bait would solicit a bite

I was a whore, err I mean a consultant. They own you for the time they pay you. And then the government wants a piece of the action. I elected to fish now instead

Top fish was the big girl. She was 19.5" and was heavy. Bottom fish was 18" and heavy too. No scale. I have two theories and not sure if they work together? First, the red sun. It was hazy, dark & dull all day. No sun shone through. I believe fish become more active during this time...

Yup. Sometimes
