Wow, a bunch o' 5 to 10 pounders...that must've been a great outing. I haven't had the chance to stick any that big this year--hopefully, I'll luck into some larger ones before the water temp gets too low for lure fish'n.

Yes, I did spoon some fish up (the Duh! spoon) but I have yet to catch any on the Silver Buddy. I bought a few when you first started singing its praises but I just haven't tied 'em on. Next time I go out I'll have a Silver Buddy rig with me, and I'll let you know the results. So do you like the large (3/4 oz) or small sized lure?
