I helped a friend move some furniture today
« on: September 25, 2011, 10:12:48 PM »
A brother of a friend of mine passed away last month so my friend asked me to help move some of his brothers and mothers furniture this weekend (today) from his mothers house to his house. After loading the furniture on my truck preparing to leave her house to haul it all to his, the mom handled me an Albright fly rod, a Pflueger fly reel(auto) and 5 new boxes of Stren fishing line as payment for helping. She insisted i take it. After moving the furniture into his house, we got to talking about the last time we went fishing together and what we caught them on, etc. He then made his way to where he kept his tackle box, opened it up and handed me a buzzbait. The skirt had melted down and after removing the skirt i identifided it and handed it back to him. He told me i could have it. Then he reached into his box and handed me a packaged buzzbait and insisted i take it too! That last package was a  1/2oz. "Hydrilla Gorilla" buizzbait. I was absolutely shocked! :o

Wow Buzz  that's pretty cool. Any chance of posting a pic? I've never seen a buzzbait by that name.

I've taken a pic of it Get (built muuch like the boogerman btw), if i can figure out how to retrieve it, i'll post it  :2thumbs

The Hydrilla Gorilla was around back in the late 70's thru say the mid 80's. Personally, i had never seen one to date but had heard, back in the day, they were on fire. (first clacking bait i presume?)
