| years ago, 39 tomorrow. Happy Birthday Joe! | | | | in stained water show up better. I might have to |
| We have been fishing at a lake I love to fish, | | | | change my perception on this if he continues to |
| mainly because of the big bass there. If you're a | | | | catch fish the way he does on these bright |

| where I'm talking about. Anyway, if you look in | | | | Well, I was informed tonight, he has a lure that he |
| most peoples tackle boxes you will find normal | | | | made and he has never seen another lure like it |
| color lures like grape, black, brown, purple, and the | | | | anywhere. I can hardly wait to see this thing. I bet |
| normal colors for lures. | | | | it is bright pink or something. He also tells me he |
| Joe is a different story...... | | | | has caught bass on it. If this lure come out to be |
| When you look in Joe's tackle box you see some | | | | another flourescent bright color like he has been |
| of the ugliest lures you have ever seen. Lures like | | | | using and catches bass, I am going to tell him the |
