Today was my first outing with the tie in tow, I didn't set the lake on fire, but I didn't get skunked either. I caught three small bass on a Bomber Squarebill in baby bass pattern. lost three more, and one of them was a good one.  Guess its time to sharpen some hooks! Pay no attention to how small the fish looks in the photo...its an illusion... the tie is huge...like 5 feet long...   |

I can vouch for MO65, the tie is about 5' long... when compared to some fish. I had a bass the other day that was regular size, but made the tie, if I'd had it, about 12 feet long. That tie is amazing. Keep up the good work! |

Hee hee...thanks for the vote of confidence Rodrigo. The bass were on the puny side today, but I have time to get some better ones while I have the tie. I may take it along for some catfishing too.  |

Got out with the tie again today...the weather man was hollerin' rain...and the old boy got it right this time. It came down in buckets! At least I got turnip's secret stinkbait washed off the tie.  I caught 6 bass though, so it wasn't a total washout.  This first shot is me and the tie...ready to wet a line!  This is the first fish...it was just starting to rain...  ...got it on a Strike King Mini-King spinnerbait.  Raining a little harder now...  ...had to break out the hat. Caught this one on a watermelon/red flake MightyBug.  Raining straight down now...but they were still biting...where's the rest of this one?   About 3 o'clock the skies dried up...but so did the bite!  This last shot pretty well sums up the situation.   |

It's amazing how a simple tie can make a man look so distinguished!! Or is it the touch of gray? |

I took the tie to a new lake today, Lake White in Waverly, Ohio. I'm not wasting my time with those stupid Google maps and Mapquest anymore...what looked like good shore access from 30,000 feet turned out to be a tangle of brush and briars!  All those "no fishing" and "no parking" signs aren't visible in those satellite shots either.  I didn't stick around there long...was gone before nine o'clock. Went somewhere I could fish, Scioto Trails, about 20 minutes up the road. The tie and I ate a sandwich and got back to business.  Ended up with four bass, a crappie, and one trout. My first trout on a crankbait!  Crankbaits and spinnerbaits were the ticket today. Hoping to get the tie on some better fish soon.   |

I didn't know Grizzly Adams was in possession of the tie? LOL, Just kidding Mike..looking good bud. Don't give up on the maps Mike..there for reference, you still have to be on the ground and do a good recon of the area...which you did...nice catches though...you and the tie were made for each other! |

Thanks for all the compliments guys...appreciate it. Hey Vito, check this out: It was hot on that last outing, so the tie and I stopped off for a cold one on the way home. I walked up to the bar...pulled out two chairs...sat in one and threw the tie into the other. The bartender says "what will it be?" and I said "A bud light and keep 'em coming 'till he runs outta money!" as I pointed at the tie. When he caught his breath he said "good one buddy...this one's on the house!" Having a ball with this crazy looking tie! You should see the looks people give when they go past a guy fishing in a tie!  |
