Ellis Mendiola Registered: March 2005 Location: Houston, Texas Posts: 629	I tied a black wooly bugger with a chartreuse tail and went to my testing pond to try it out. Do you really have to hold the rod in your mouth when your picture is taken (lol).

Ellis, I think that the one that your grandson caught in that pond was a heck of a lot bigger than that.

For the total effect, you should have waded out into the water, clenched the grip in your teeth, and held that "Lunker" up for the camera in all it's glory. Cheers Paul.

You are right, Paul. That picture was supposed to be a spoof of some of the pictures that I see in fly fishing magazines. There is always some guy holding the rod in his mouth. That Tru Oil on the handle tastes really good.

I wasn't sure if that was a bluegill or the fly you tied. Great pic, Ellis!
