Raw gravel hook

Bowmo, it's all the same cept the gloves, I couldn't hold it with the leather gloves as it got smaller.
Took me about forty five minutes on this one.

Electric...  I have tested them,  they are stronger than they look like they would be.
I bet I could place a piece of leather strap to pull directly on the point, hooked to a scale and pull ten pounds pressure on a string tied to the shank. That's plenty strong to catch some pretty good size fish with.

Biggest I've caught so far is about two and a half pounds, but I've hooked and fought a couple four pounders that tried to pull me in before they come unhooked. I paused 1/10,000 of a second on the second four pounder right before I swung him in and he used a portion of that time to get off and splash water in my face.

We have had some major spring flooding going on but when the water settles I hope to be having fish in the pictures along with a fishing report
I hate posting hook  pictures with no fish  ???

Aaron, I'll git er done!

Very nice. The ultimate would be to catch a fish with your hook.

Thanks!
I've caught a few fish on the stone hooks.
Here's a pic I found on photo bucket of a goggleye caught on one.
Most fish pics I had where lost in a computer crash.
