What could be better,

I made a six ten inch swim baits for ocean fishing and it worked! As a matter of fact I caght over three hudred and fifty pounds of california yellowtail, the largest weighing in at forty eight pounds. Everyone I fished with laughed at either my "croc's" or my "home made lure", after catching so many fish no one was laughing, at least at my lure. Thank you everyone at this board for all your help in hekping me make these lure's
Rick

Enlarge the picture, and it's hanging out of the tuna's mouth. Great looking lure.

Re: What could be better,

@ Rick S

I suppose that a swimbait is not the most typical of a saltwater lure !

But I wish to have seen the laughter freezing on those guys faces !

Great !

Keep on carvin' , diemai

Re: What could be better,

Nice Fish; Great Lure. I'm always torn, is it more cool to catch something on a lure you made or watchin' someone else catch a fish on one of your lures.

And, there's that question... "Where kin I get one?" And my favorite answer, "Off my workbench after I get a chance to make a few more."

Congrats on your catch - does the captain still get to keep most of it?
