Off a bed over and over????? Snag em like Long??

Jigs is catching 10-12 inchers (pics) off a puffball jig. WRB is getting hundreds of DD's off a Viper. I know what i'm going with. :lol: :lol: :lol:

WRB sound like Doug Hannon. He went from 100 bass over 10 lbs to 300 bass over 10# over night. Nothing but marketing to sell his piece of crap snake bait or whatever else he was pimpng at the time. You probably couldn't catch a 10# bass right now to save your life. Not even off Jigs puffy jig. :lol: :lol:
Viper head lol.....I've been throwing an Arkie head all these years and have only caught 2 lbers. Should have been throwing a "viper head". :lol: :lol: :lol: You're not fooling anybody.
You guys are too much. And yes rubber/silicone jigs are obsolete......When I toss a jig its just a jig head with a plastic trailer. No puffy rubber or silicone.
And you didn't win **** at the Casino. :lol: :lol: Add up all the losses prior to the last trip you won the big jackpot of $250 :lol: :lol:

Whoopbass im sure you don't have any first hand knowledge on how to fish any type of jig round rubber or silicone or any experience on how to build them yourself. Fishing a hula grub and jig head that's lame :lol: I use alot of yamamoto products for trailers but hula grubs isn't one of them. Wife and I went to Eastman lake today we had 34 bass in 3 1/2 hour of fishing all jig fish in 24 to 30 feet of water. They have to be some of healthiest little bass ive seen in the last 3 years of spawning alot of fat little fish.
Bass from 8" to 15" Inches long. And alot of 3" to 5" bass swimming in around bushes and rock and around the dock areas. There all over the place. Winter time jig fishing at Eastman is going to be really good in Dec. Jan. and Feb. In 25' to 50' of water.

WRB, I wonder how many fishing articles, Whoopbass has written, compared to yours, for various fishing magazines to share his wealth of knowledge to help his fellow fisherman? I for one, would like to read some of his to see what I could do better.

I was fortunate to start catching DD as a young teenager, 1st was at lake Havasu Roads End camp on a live waterdog, 11 lbs at age 115, followed by a 10# from lake Sherwood, several from a private lake at Livingston’s Rock & Gravel plant.
Joined the Pisces bass club in San Diego to learn how to catch FLMB in the mid 60’s and spent 6 years catching DD using crawdads, mudsuckers and waterdogs before deciding live bait during the spawn cycle was unsporting imo and stopped. Made my Viper jig in ‘71 and fished our local lakes Castiac when it opened in ‘73 and already fished Casitas since it opened in ‘58, so know our local lakes.
Bottom line catching DD bass over a 65 year period the numbers add up. The era is over and may not be duplicated and blessed to be at the right places at the right time.

WRB just keep doing what you've done all these years with catching DD bass and all the articles you've wrote over the years. Its like myself ive been in business for 46 year building custom Jigs Spinnerbaits Buzzbaits and Blade Baits And im still going strong. Dont let a few ruin it for you. The newer generation they dont want too learn.they just want to criticize.

The most important thing about jig fishing is learn to fish them correctly. Learn to recognize the types of jigs to fish through out the year. Learn to read the types of structure your going to be fishing and what the fish well be holding on. For myself I excel in winter in 18 to 50 feet of water with 1/8 oz. 1/4oz. 3/8oz. Jigs and light line 4,6,8,10 Maxima line and med heavy
spinning rods. For me colder the weather the better. :D

Anyone who would make accusations about Tom snagging fish has obviously never meet the man. He was a fine engineer who was on the fishing scene. I have had Tom in my boat and we've fished side by side. I've opened his eyes but he usually crossed mine because he's one damn fine angler. Made his own mark and kept his "brand" untarnished by being himself.

I think whoop is compensating for something with the attacks and defamation regardless of the person. Have you got any other opinions about anglers I should ignore?..You know whoop...as Abraham Lincoln said:

“Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt. .

You are almost to the point of psychotic,but your still a fool.
Remember ...What the Dormouse said...Feed your head!
