Bicycle George looks like he has worlds of experience. Do you have any stories to share about him?

[Rip-Plugger]

BG and I go waaay back,back to about 1985 I think.
He really didn't sling swimmers with us much.
he was more of a wader and popper slinger than ANYONE at that time.
he got me into wading AAMOF,I have waded with him many times and always had fun with him.
I tell ya,this 70 year old can sling a 2 oz popper so far that you'd think it snapped off and just vanished.

this man would put many of us to shame with his casting ability,he beats me and I ain't no slouch.
anyhooo,I am happy to know him as he is not a jerk that will not help you land a fish.he will share spots that hold fish and things that work.

Some day todays fishing experiences will become the glory days of present days (I think I said that correctly). Here are a few action shots (R-P hook ups)

Is that the 28 or 36" mark on your rod, the white band to the right in the bottom pic? That's some big bluefish there!

[Rip-Plugger]

small bass from this am.
caught a large gator earlier but,during my trying to get some good action shots it kept going left/right,could not get it to stay in the frame then it got off.
beat up the skunk though,,,,,,got soaked to the bone,rain never let up,I headed for some coffee and pancakes/sausage,,,,

Yeah those gators have a way of doing what they want once they are being taken out of the water. nice pictures. all at night? nice rubber too.

oh man,who you telling?,,,they are simply motivated by demons or something.
most are during darkness but,some are in the very early light.
I have been fishing with plugs on the larger size,they seem to get their attention much more so than say a bomber or such.
they are around and seem to be spread out so,anywhere I fish i sling big wood to alert them to my offering,,,it's been working well.

as for the ruber,i am using the largest i have and can find in my parts.6-9 inches.
the bass are hitting it so,I must be doing it right.
