0:05
it's probably been more big masky Scott
0:08
on a believer over the course of time
0:10
than any other date right now we're
0:13
trying to imitate some of the bait fish
0:15
that you might see out in our water and
0:17
some popular colors that we like to use
0:21
silver and black can never go wrong with
0:24
that we have a lot of gas grow or
0:26
alewife in our waters you see it's got a
0:29
couple battle scars and I like to paint
0:32
my lures I painted this one sometimes I
0:35
just like to take a lure that I like it
0:37
might not be a color of my choice but
0:39
I'll paint it up with something that
0:41
that we think might work in our water
0:43
and that's what we're using out there
0:45
too we got a couple lures that I've
0:47
painted and it's it's a big
0:49
accomplishment I like I like I like it
0:51
when we catch a fish on lure that I've
0:53
painted because it just makes you feel
0:54
good you know knowing that a fish wanted
0:57
to eat something that you just made and
0:59
this year I'm we're like I'm gonna paint
1:02
them more about like what color I should
1:05
paint it not what I want
1:07
like I keep painting colors that I like
1:09
like it's like a fashion show but it's
1:12
not so my first few dates the paint jobs
1:17
were Horry on and I know that just like
1:21
every build is third you know that's
1:22
Frank Thurston from the thirsty lures
1:25
Frank he's got a really interesting
1:27
story in that he was sick and tired are
1:30
trying to pay the big bucks for for a
1:32
costume and crankbaits or even just
1:33
regular muscular says expensive you get
1:35
these custom crankbaits some of them are
1:37
like a couple hundred bucks each
1:38
whatever a lot of the premium and the
1:40
nicer crane customs I just couldn't
1:42
afford and I started thinking well I
1:46
have a woodworking experience and I
1:47
thought I could I can do this or I can
1:50
so Frank started making his own to use
1:53
them and then all of a sudden he
1:54
sketched a vegetable now I've evolved to
1:58
trying to put premium baits into the
2:02
average muskie fisherman's hands now
2:04
Frank is selling his base to it thirsty
2:06
so if you're looking for a custom bait
2:08
at a decent price that guy could
2:10
probably hook you up you know she's
2:12
doing what makes a great bait usually is
2:15
as if it's erotic you want your baits to
2:19
always come back to true but if you have
2:22
a bait that will go through and they
2:23
kick off left or kick off right and come
2:26
behind those are the golden ones must be
2:29
are also ambush and are also stalkers
2:32
will they follow wait behind the bait
2:35
and if the beats just doing that
2:36
constant constant constant constant and
2:39
also does a kickoff Muskies a lot of
2:41
times have this essential attack when
2:43
they think that the prey is taking off
2:46
I'm not trying to tune each one to run
2:48
like an assembly line if there's erotic
2:52
Ness I leave it I love doing it I'm not
2:58
I'm in it bit for you know getting the
3:01
pictures of somebody gonna call my
3:03
personal that's ten years whether it's a
3:05
forty seven whether it's a 54
3:07
you know everybody's personal best is
3:09
different and getting those is what I
3:11
thrive on that's what makes it
3:14
worthwhile for me Department Marlin I
3:16
never fished and my first fish I ever
3:20
caught was a muskie and it was a 42 so
3:22
that was pretty awesome and then you
3:26
kind of said oh do you want fish for
3:27
bass one day what'd you say well I said
3:31
how big are they I think you're like
3:33
what's the point I think with the point
3:36
infected with the muskie disease as they
