At 8:30, Joe mentioned Tony catching fish on his lunch break. Why are you allowing him a lunch break? He needs to get more videos out! 😁
Awesome discussion, really enjoyed this topic. I was kind of surprised Luke didn’t mention the Alabama Leprechaun as one of his top three picks. Soft jerk shads are one of my favorite baits and I always have them with me because of their versatility. You can rig them on a jig head or weedless and even as a topwater if you know how to do it right.
