Finally Found my Treasure

Hehe, it took me years and years to find one, but I finally was able to purchase a lure like I used when I was 11 years old (30 years ago). It was very hard to find in the correct paint job, and the company who made it, Red River Lures, went out of business a long time ago. Behold the glory that is the "Pregnant Guppie"!

This thing was total murder on pike and bass back in 1979! check out the awesome paint job and the size of this thing (3-1/2" long). I'm feeling so nostaligc, I might go try to find a nice fiberglass trolling rod!

But seriously, I am thinking about incorporating this lure into a nice Northern Pike mount, sort of as a fond remembrance of being a young, enthusiastic angler. It would look totally sweet being "chased" by a hungry 24-inch pike, with some Eurasian Millfoil in the background.
