Hi Rob,

I cant say Ive ever been a trophy hunter exclusively since Im a tourney guy. However since I fish with CV from time to time I do chase em. It was a day CV and I had on a lake many years ago that about ruined me. Way too many big fish in too short of a time, and too easily. Im back after a long break from the tourney scene. I have to say that things have really changed. This past summer was a tough time to come back as the fishing seemed to be off a bit. Lakes were low and choked full of weeds, and everything looked so different. I had a few great days, but they did not happen with a swimmer.

The other thing is there are sooooo many swimbaits now that its a bit overwhelming. I know how you feel about McClure, but ya can easily start getting those 2lber's instead. I can help ya there.

Im throwing the hudd alot while prefishing, but so far no go. Just thinking that the time is upon us for that to come to go off.

Its been sooo long since I been on this site I had to re-register.
