yes i have photos of my boats.. and lek you say the amount of $$ i have all high end rods and reels.. at any given time i can have 10K in my boat if i amour.. i lock it all up at home..i have family and fiends in law enforcement, (not me) i know better : ) they know a lot of the crack heads and such.. I am really thinking this is why this guy called me when he saw my last name... he was a prankster you can tell and heh knows that these marinas and such are all video.. thing he did not realize i think tho is that as low as the lake is the cameras are out of site... its a small area in the foothills but a lot of crack heads live and make the stuff around here and grow a lot of dope.. its not about our pride and joy it is about their next high.. my bait will surface i think, he said thats all that was in the box but it was different so he will sale it..

i have one that has about 1/4 paint left on it, it is even missing one and a half of the lower fins.. the bait was given to me and it is one of my BEST ever,,, fish it.. : " ) something about Mattlures.. most would not even float or swim in the one i haves condition and it still catches fish

thats what i said... I am hoping it shows on black market some where.. he says that is the only bats that were in the box.. I had a brand new well almost 10" FS in there and some kind of new FS blue gills and they were all returned.. so not sure whats up.. he would not give me his friends name but I have his number i have contacted the PD about it so we will see.. I am thankful i got the majority back but just flat out pisses me off.. second time i have been ripped off this year first time was my fault left a package on my front seat.. fricken thief could not have known what was in package... not sure what is going on in this world today.... lock up everything and thats not my way of doing business.. so i am hoping this HPH shows up for sale some where like i say it is one of a kind or i think it is.. i paid the guy for the return and afterwards thought what the hell did i do that for.. but i think it was the right thing he could have kept them all?

first off a GREAT big thank you to Mr Draper for the safe return of a box of swim baits that mysteriously disappeared from the deck of my buddies boat a few weeks back... thanks god my blame was imprinted on the bait container along with my phone number.. HIGHLY suggest you all do that.. I and a call from Mr Draper that he had a box of baits that belonged to me yesterday... i met with him today and sure as hell was my baits i figured were gone forever.. He says a buddy of his took them off the boat thinking it was his boat and he did not want some one ripping them off.. bullshit.. any way I am so thankful, i have all the baits but 2, one was a beat up Javalon hard that i can easily replace and the other is a beat up HPH. It is one i got directly rom Randall lat year, it was one of his rejects that i drilled out the belly and filled with some lead. I painted the led a lime green color so it is highly visible.. it is a one of a kind bait, i do not think there will be another out there like it.. i have about 1 oz of lead in it so it sinks like a jig, and it is not in there pretty.. i dremmeld the hole so as it has rough edges to help hold the lead i poured in it... so PLEASE if any of you see a HPH that some one says they converted to a sinking bait please buy it or get photos and let me know .. I will give you more than you paid for it to get it back.. i have caught some good fish with it and it means a lot to me.. i figured i would not see any of these baits so at least i am ahead of the game... another one of those things i thought my buddy was screwing with me and hiding my baits... not funny Larry...

I wonder if we could buy the SBN domain and gain access to the articles. We bring them archive them at Underground the bury SBN domain forever. do you think that is possible? I heard it was for sale, if all the archives were there this may be possible.. wonder what the cost wold be, I may check it out, get a group together like you say just to archive where one could read and add to it and forever it would survive..

I heard they got sued by some big dik Alabama lawyer. Something about a discrimination case.... Crazy huh. he is out to get every swimbait Forum shut down now guess i am in the dark.. who is the prick trying to mess with us..? i don't go for the stuff.. kind of like some of the newbies raising cane on this site.. whats happening to the good ol days everyone was cool.. i hear stuff these days that just really IRK me.. some lying fools.. i don't have time to play those games so i ignore it and it really bothers me just like these guys running around trying to sue for handy capped access.. what are we doing to one another lying trying to get one not to do for one another.. SUCKS...

really.. what a wheenie.. guess we need to watch what we say ...

I see Don has it dialed in.. as always he is on top of it.. that bait is almost better than swx the way she swims.. AWESOME..... looks like a mermaid..

awesome deal.. thanks to everyone for the kindness towards those we only know by a screen name... just plain cool

do me a favor and send that thing to me... the bite is on out west.. maybe stick a record.. i caught some slammer fish last weekend... water i sup to 65-68 deg... i do not see many photos on the world wide tour.. whats up.. i don't know how to post photo but will send for some one who does to post.. thanks

i know i see a few of you on the competitions side.. SBN.. just went to log in and it is GONE.. domain went down.. whats next..

SO great of Matt to donate this bait for your dad.. way to cool.. I bid on it but went to high for me.. i got it up a notch or 2 tho.. take care and thanks a Bunch to Mattlures for the generous contribution.. wishing you and Dad a speedy and HEALTHY recovery.. GO MATTLURES... : )

not to sure about him throwing them but if you are (flippin/pitchin?) : ) this bait he has all the wrong answers... : ) XXLBASS has a Mother rod for sale.. it is the real thing.. GREAT rod for the bait if ever there was one.. and it is a beauty...

cool vid Don.. more work in the video then on the lake.. awesome job and congradulations on the accomplishment well deserved..

so you outbid me... great baits..

Man, Id give you $10k if I could! Hinkle's will get people going! Haha! Also...keep us updated on how things are going. Did they save his finger or is that gone for good? I will I wish I could share pics but they are a tad too much for just posting up. The finger is gone all together they were not able to save it. Once he has some more healed pics I will shoot some of those out Thanks guys the mind and spirit will heal with time... nothing at all good out of this deal but there is a rainbow at the end of the pain and suffering once he is healed.. he still has another trigger finger... i know that is not a good comment but at least it is true.. he is alive and well and can continue to burn up some rounds... ammo and boats.. lives good.. a speedy recovery is indeed a positive note..
