My hat's off to you, Rob! That trout plug article on your Calfishing site is incredible! Hadn't seen that before you brought it up here. I love that "stupid trout, stupid trout" bit (LOLOL!!!). Great insights, great flow of information (nice pic's, too!).

I might mention, you **did** misspell "SUGOI" when you discussed using Yamamoto's fluorocarbon line -- you might want to fix that before your **sponsor** finds out! ;-)

(Sorry, I'm SO anal about that kind of stuff!)

Anyways, great job. I'm happy to say that I've caught my first (though **only**) trout plug fish, thanks to you & your 'MS Slammer' promotion (I'm referring to that big 15-lb., 12-oz advertising slogan of yours)! No surprise, it was the biggest one I caught during the Clear Lake tourney (forget the fact that he got loose & swam away with my culling bouy when I was trying to get him into my livewell!) :-(

Hope we can get out & toss some of these bad boys together sometime -- let me know when you've got an open seat in the back of your boat! Meanwhile, I'll keep chucking away.


We'll be seeing you on Sunday, right? -- j
