bluetickhound Posted June 13, 2012 Report Share Posted June 13, 2012 I'm not even going to lie... This fish might have been a pound even but it will always be huge to me... My first fish on my first lure! Whenever I can get my computer to cooperate (or get replaced) pictures will be forthcoming... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Bass Man Posted June 14, 2012 Report Share Posted June 14, 2012 Congrats!! Always fun catching them on a bait you made and painted!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobP Posted June 14, 2012 Report Share Posted June 14, 2012 Nice! You can think what you will about a bait but until Mr. Bass votes, you never REALLY know if it's a success. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluetickhound Posted June 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2012 Thanks guys!! I'm seriously thinking of retiring 001 now... I'd hate to lose it!! 002, 003 and 004 are very close to completion and #'s 005 thru 011 are in various stages of completion. 003 is going to a friend this Friday for a Florida fishing trip. I can't wait to see if it'll net him a fish or two!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saltshaker Posted June 14, 2012 Report Share Posted June 14, 2012 Hound, by using a three-digit numbering system...I'm assuming you are leaving yourself room for more? It's always gratifying to catch a fish on your own bait...no matter how big. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IamSpartacus Posted June 28, 2012 Report Share Posted June 28, 2012 Congrats man! My first fish catching homemade is saved and displayed, one of the few decorations I haven't lost in the past 4 years of moving constantly. Definitely retire it and make some more, well worth it.

bluetickhound Posted June 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2012 Lures 5 & 6 are now official fish catchers also! Lure 3 was given to a friend for critique, lure 4 blistered in a hot car and is in the process of being re-done... All others are in various stages of completion.

mark poulson Posted July 2, 2012 Report Share Posted July 2, 2012 You're on a roll!!! My first lure was a replacement for a Pupfish I'd borrowed and broken. I gave it to my fishing partner to replace his "treasure". Once I figured out how to make them, I just tweaked them until they worked, and fished them until they either died, or were taken by a fish that broke me off. I don't really value the lures I make that much. But the knowledge I gained in making them is priceless. And making them is fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluetickhound Posted July 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2012 Thanks Y'all! Im having a blast and so far, every lure i've made has: A) been a learning experience that has made each lure better than the one before it and (more importantly!!) has caught fish!!
