Photo from November, 1979. Founder Mike Whitaker looking over Waterbug Bait Company products. Zoom in and check out that lure…might be a good FFS option. What do you think?

Our friend Joe is back. This time with a huge walleye caught on a 3/8 oz Legacy Series with a single Colorado blade.

Joe says…

“I had one of the coolest catches of my life today. Threw out a Waterbug in 18-20ft of water. Let it hit bottom. Lifted it up off the bottom, and an instant—wham!— It didn’t move…. I thought I hooked a log…. Then eventually it moved away from me— peeled drag— felt really heavy… stayed on bottom my whole retrieve…

I thought I had on a 15+ pound pike, but no…

29.25” Walleye!!!“
