Hair Bet Done

The Hair bet that is. Two anglers on the same boat, fishing to preserve one's hair while atempting to remove it from the other.

The Place- Big Lake, Long Pond P.A

Time- 5:15 a.m

The Bet- Anglers can choose two rods and two baits/lures.

I chose a secret weapon midnight snack and a wacky rigged senko in red shad.

Dave opted for a secret weapon "green goddess" and a wacky rigged 3''inch chubby in black.

If either one of us lost the spinnerbait then that angler would be left fishing soft plastics for the remainder of the tourney using only one rod.

First person to catch a fish shaves the others head bald

Loophole: If same angler catches the second fish the bet is done and the shaving begins. If the other angler catches the second fish he has choice, keep his own hair or shave the head of the intial fish catching angler, making both anglers bald as a bowling ball.

We started trolling slowly and Dave started off real strong landing a 14 inch bass that crushed his secret weapon off a point. I though I felt a slight hit but chalked it up to grass. It was probably that fish I felt. Now all I felt was desperation to catch the next fish. Dave was smiling and now switched over to the wacky rig as the sun came up. I continued to fish the midnight snack figuring I was going to live or die by it as it had been so productive the past few days out. The next 30 minutes had some tail tuggers on Daves worm and some "let me scare him" hooksets, but no more fish. We rounded the main point and down the bank and I was just about to head out to open water when Dave reels back and sets the hook, no fish. I kept chucking my SW and as it was nearing the boat I remembered Steve Hubers figure 8 words that I hardly ever practice, halfway through the 8 a nice swirl and grab and I lifted my first morning bass into the boat. Decision time... Keep my hair or shave mine and take Dave's with me. Well your going to have to go to www.outdoorfrontiers.com to see the pictures.

Steve H can you post a link when they are up?

Oh yeah Randy... You should know better then to compete against the Green Goddess!!!

PS: I got a care package going out in the mail on Monday for ya.

Than GG spinnerbait has been a fine producer since I got it last year. The thing is beaten down but I just keep chunkin away with it.

I made sure to downsize the blades for a smaller profile for the hair tourney. The skirt is thinning (much like Randy's late head of hair) but it still produces as good as ever.

Thanks for helping me take the grand prize this year. I'll be offering Jig and craw in natural Randy hair color (Thats a brown / grey mix) and blue soon so keep a look out for them. I will also be offering popper trebles with Randy hair bucktails.

Great Spinnerbaits guys!!!
