  1. Yes! I absolutely love your crappie builds! I can't wait to see how this one turns out
  2. It's been a struggle recently with the fish refusing to bite the big baits the last few trips. I was finally able to make it out on the water again and caught this little guy on my second cast! Just a squeak, but I'm glad I finally caught something haha. I also accidentally foul-hooked this split tail a few trips back when I was targeting stripers. Hopefully things will pick up soon!
  3. That's a sweet build! I love the head detailing!
  4. Another beautiful build! Well done!
  5. Not a largie, but definitely the biggest fish I've caught in my life! I got pretty close to getting one about 10 lbs bigger, but sadly didn't hook up. Looking forward to catching more this year!
  6. What a beautiful build so far! Very well done!
  7. Nice job! I love targeting stripers with glides!
  8. Took my Bravo for a swim a few weeks ago and tagged this one. It was mid-day and the wind was blowing pretty hard. I was fishing my glide with aggressive reel turns and got bumped within the first five minutes of fishing. I moved on from that spot to give it a rest, but came back at the end of the day. I was working my glide back and got thumped. I set the hook, but missed and continued to fish the bait back. I gave the glide a few more twitches and this solid little guy smashed it!
  9. Awesome job! I love the profile of that bait! The paint job is also pretty sweet!
  10. My heart almost stopped when I saw those fish! Either one of them would've broken my PB easily! For sure! There's not many things as satisfying as creating a lure and having fish smash it like this!
  11. For sure! Even the 20lber that I got last year was dragging my kayak around! I can't imagine what an even bigger striper could do

    Choked!

    My brother and I decided to hit the water this weekend, and I'm sure glad that we did! The day started off pretty slow for me, with only a few bites and one dink. I threw a wide variety of baits, but couldn't seem to figure anything out. Finally, I was burning in my Bravo Trout and got a 5-6 lb stripe to flash on it. I continued to bomb my glide around and experimented with all the different retrieves that I could think of. I got a school of about seven or so smaller stripers as well as a few bass to follow, but no hits. I was working my bait back with quick reel chops when two of the biggest stripers I had ever seen in person (I'd say 30lbs give or take) came out of nowhere and started tracking my bait. One of them slammed my glide, but didn't hook up. Despite me almost getting a heart attack, I continued to bomb that bait out and cover as much water as I could. I finally made the right cast, gave the Bravo a few twitches, and hooked up with this solid striper. Although it wasn't one of the giants that I had seen, it still put up a great fight! This is also the first time that I have had a fish choke a bait this size!
