WE WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR RUINED BAITS, NOT CATCHING FISH, VOMITING OR DIVORCES.

Find a locker plant that will let you have a set of beef lungs with windpipe still connected. Hang lungs up by windpipe. Pour fresh blood into windpipe. When full hang in cooler until blood coagulates. Leave in cooler 24 hours. Take out of cooler and slice into cubes.

Because of the consistency of the lung, the lung absorbs the blood. When you put the slices on the hook, the bait will stay on the hook, but the blood will still bleed out, re-liquefying in the water.

SOTM Montucky style

Submitted by Tyson Webb, his chick friend, Sarah Jameson shows off a lower Madison pig.  Might not be enough for SOTM, but the cuteness factor could come into play.

Another minnow takes the SOTM bounty?

Submitted by Don Rogers, Steve Hemkens' monster poon may very well contend for the June prize.  Even with the no hoist policy in effect, it's clear this biatch exudes respect.

Dang Gina!

Fishing Trip

The little steelhead that could

J. Thompson and I dusted off the el doubles and got our spey on last night (snoqualmie style).  Two casts into it, steelie jr. here had an issue with my skunk and laid down a nice little downstream assault.

The under aged boozing bikini clad shore party was impressed.  They had no idea this set a record - for smallest wild buck taken on a spey rod.
