Congrats on the PB bro!

Sweet trip man. Thanks for sharing all the pics and storys with us!

Nice Fish man. I'm a striper guy and I'm dying to fish for some wipers. Looks like you got a NICE 1.

Hell ya man. That looks like a fun trip. Nice Fish!

These are gonna be killer. Can't wait to get my hands on a couple.

Managed to land a new pb today. I know there's bigger and I'm gonna find them eventually. She ate the Wade Hoggs which was a super exciting bite. I'm not a big top water or wake guy at all but dam that was an unexpected bite! I've been targeting stripes with swimbaits the last few years and haven't really took the time to figure out how to approach the green ones. The last couple months the striper bite really died in my area and I had to find a way to feel that tug. So I stepped outside my normal comfort zone and started to break down some new water while searching for the green ones. I noticed the gill were spawning and it was a no brainer that I needed to be throwing a gill bait. I've tried a handful of baits but ended up having the most confidence in the Wade Hoggs. The size,action, and noise it throws off seemed like it would make for a killer snack. I'm glad I stuck with my gut feeling and decided to stick with it. Here she is. A 6lb 3oz Nevada fish. I know it' no DD but it' a huge step in the right direction for me and a respectable fish for my area. #ofisholyreel

I suggest sending it out to a "Wrapping Professional". This will probably be the smartest, quickest, and best fix IMO. The guys that wrap baits have to strip all the old paint off and will be able to see all the damage and cracks. They'll probably lay an epoxy coat and then lay the wrap and another coat of epoxy. That's what I would do if I were in your shoes. Its better then having a paper weight and waiting on Roman to may or may not come through. I highly recommend Alex @ Realistic ofcourse

I've got some baits from japan and they cut a line in the hook protectors and flip them upside down. Seemed like a good idea to me. served the purpose

Awesome write up! Now you're blessed with that curse of trying to out do yourself and you set the bar high. That's what makes it fun and worth doing. Congrats man!

If you make your way to Vegas let me know. I wouldn't mind hitting the water for a few hours with your company man. Shoot me a dm if you make it out this way.

Had some down time and figured I'd share a few fish pics. Gotta get my post count up and earn my participation trophy haha. All fish were caught from Lake Mohave within the last year. Nothing big but, a swimbait fish is always a good fish . I'm currently in the summer blues(4 skunk trips in a row). I need a fish in a bad way tomorrow. Wish me luck guys.

I've lost a few BBZ'z a while back and thought that suuuucked. Wasn't until casting off my first 250 it hit me how bad a bait loss sucks. Icing on the cake was the second I casted my 250 off, my buddy Fatfishslayer hooked into a fatty and his new pb striper 100yds away. I can hear them shouting joy and happiness while I'm circling around trying to find something that resembled my bait and telling myself I wont drown if I jump overboard..... It sucked! It beat me up for a few weeks and my fishing suffered because of it. I've lost a few nice baits since. Its all part of the game. Worst loss was a Hinkle on a 20-25# stripe a few feet from the boat. That one hurt the most cause that particular one was responsible for my PB (I should've just hung that one). I've since then rebuilt a strong arsenal of baits I frequently use. It makes your life a bit easier and less stressful with the concept of "ish happens".

I'm a striper guy because I can't figure out the Bass in my local lakes. But here's my PB caught her in March. I'm on a mission to beat the lake record 67# which is showing to be super TOUGH! But ultimately that's what we're all trying to do! Thought I'd share the pics because they're just so dam cool! Lake mohave fish (Infamous Willow beach) 39 inches and 28# Hope you guys enjoy the pics
