Thanks, Bill and I hope you and your family had a wonderful Christmas. Your home and yard decorations were really beautiful. I think that RSB has a lot of potential in the waters that I fish because of the awesome color. I caught a nice 14.5 crappie in late November and the one that got off was 15+/-....a heart breaker 😢 I don't think I could fish moving water like you do for those huge brutes! Our winter weather is finally arrived so if I go in the weeks ahead I'll be triple layered 😅😅. Happy New Year, Don

Merry Christmas & a great New Year to you, Don - being in & out of hospitals for surgery the past year up to present, you are the only real sense of fishing I get - there are others, but you & Richard Gene the fishing machine really top them all - great videos

David, sincere thanks for your kind comments. I hope you recover and can get on the water more next year. Richard is a hoot and sure can find the fish.... I've been pretty much stymied by the crappie except for catching one or two every now and then. Ah, well, those crazy Mr. Bs seem to be cooperative so I'll be chasing them with whatever Rudie recommends that I use 😂😂. Blessings for 2024, Don

Merry Christmas Don, hope you and the Wife and dogs have a wonderful New Year.

Thanks so much, Rick. All is calm, all is bright here. Wishing you and your family prosperity and peace in 2024. Don

Great show Don! I'm struggling to figure the fish out in the ultra clear water around my new home. I think they see me coming before I leave the driveway, ha ha! Maybe RSBs are the secret. Merry Christmas to you and yours, along with many blessings in the New Year!

Thanks, Darren, and I hope you and your family had a blessed Christmas. Some of the mud puddles I fish will sort of clear up by the middle of winter but most are (thankfully) stained year round. The challenge all year is this crazy drought. If we can get some additional rains like the Christmas eve rain things might improve in 2024. In the meantime I'm going to keep asking Rudie what I should tie on the line...he's been pretty helpful and reliable 😂. We have moved into a winter temperature pattern with nights in the 20s so I expect some "hard water" is coming shortly. Oh, RSBs are great. I sent the Bear Paws owner John a photo of Z-Man Shad FryZ "Dark and Stormy" color and he matched it perfectly! Happy new year, Don
