I think green might be the color this year. I've been using a metallic green with a gold tail and catching them 2 to 1. As far as spitting the hooks out...those lightwires may have a bad taste!!!

Nice mess right there.

That little lake sure can shuck out the fish.........nice report!

Nice report there johnboatfisher. Those Talquin slabs like to put on jumping display.......

My three favorite flavors: Fried Chicken, Sweet Tea, Tomato Samich, Corn, Peas, Butterbeans, and sometimes late in the afternoon......they like Coors!!

Great catch! Glad to hear the lake is coming back up! It was down over 3 foot last week. Talquin is dangerous to run when down over 2 foot.
