Cooter pulls out the Buyou Boogie!!! That was a 'go to' for me about 30 years ago! Loved that bait in a bass pattern.

Mann's Jelly Worms. Back in the day a dear friend now passed and I would get the #9's and pinch them at the middle. We killed bass in Guist when I was kid on those things in blueberry and strawberry. I also remember when the scissor buzzbait came out, the original one was made by Lunker Lure, man did we ever destroy bass on those things the first several years. My Dad sit on the back of my ole Terry Bassboat and watched me catch 16 keepers one morning out of Guist while he drank coffee and smiled. He never wet a line just watched me and smiled, I was 14 at the time. I had a boat before a car, lol. Thanks alot Rick for this post you just stirred alot of emotion and memories in me, nice post buddy.....

I, like mr. Hall, had a boat when i was in high school, had to borrow mom and dad's car to pull it. Back then, the timber was still standing in nolin, you could take a floating rapala, if the water was calm, or a neal spinner, if it was a little choppy, and tear them up. The 1st time i fished a worm, i was told, when they hit it, drop your rod, push the free-spool button, and count to 10!! Now, does this give away my age???
(i also remember using the original pedigo spin-rite, fishing the jumps)

That was a great top water bait.
