A Little Crankbait action report*

Attachment 242631Attachment 242632Attachment 242633My wife and I Just returned from a weekend trip to Arkabutla, my first time on the Lake. Really impressed with the size/quality of the fish there. Didn't get into any good numbers but the ones we did catch were PIGS! I cuss MRDUX every time I pull cranks now after selling all my crankbait gear to him several years ago. I thought I was pretty much done with pulling cranks since I experienced very little success on my home lake with the technique. There is just something about seeing that big slab skiing across the water with a crankbait choked in their mouth that you just gotta like! So I guess I'm back.....Check out the fish pictured on the golden rule and see how close to being a keeper it was. (12" minimum in MS) Makes you sick turning one loose that size.

Never sell your fishing stuff!!!! Ok?? Got it?? If u buy it they will come. Lol Great catch Brad. [emoji106]

I vaguely remember telling you the day would come you would regret that decision. I probably still have 1/2 of the cranks I bought from you. The bottom of KY and Barkley lakes are sporting the rest.

Of course cussing me has no effect, especially since you contacted me about selling out and I didn't haggle on your price.

Great catch and post.
