Given the cost of Muskie and Pike baits, and the beating they take, I think I'll start using some of my body parts as lures. Pikes will totally blow up on a lilly while size 12 hanging in the water. I might just as well save the money on the lure and put my medical insurance premiums to good use. Mabye after 400 or 500 stitches, I'll earn emergency ward frequent flyer miles.
