    I’d love to see you start making fresh water aquarium fish species for your baits. Something like different tetra species or platies. The actions from some different tetras might be great. Man some aquarium catfish baits would be cool too.

    I have seen all your videos I believe and no matter how what kind of bait it turns out to be I am very glad you started talking in your videos. Your funny commentary, calling for your drill, the moments of inspiration when you still have a fresh idea. All funny. But the endings that you started doing a while back have been the cherry on top. Love all your work. Keep em coming for as long as you can without losing your love for creation.

    That’s also a very popular aquarium fish called guppy. And the one you made is the female, and the black stuff at the end of the belly is how you can see she is pregnant. Sometimes they get so fat so you can see the eyes of the babies in that black spot. Had many as a kid, fun fish to have!

Since the cold part of winter started I've made about 150 different styles,sizes and weights of both. Can't wait to see how yours do when the thaw comes and I'm set for Christmas presents for next year.

    There's a department here in Oregon that will bring mosquito fish to your ponds/troughs for free. We got a couple for each of our water troughs from them. (Vector is the department, I think). They'll only give them if your water source doesn't connect to any other water source (like a creek or river).
