by
(and
you're
not
going
to
believe
this)
Wally
Heinrich
from
Sanford,
MI.
Wally
was
fishing
with
his
wife
by
the
weed
beds.
He
did
give
up
and
tell
us
he
was
using
a
4"
tube
bait
that
was
dark
green
with
glitter.
This
is
one
of
his
favorite
baits;
he
always
catches
something
while
using.
After
such
a
great
weekend
they
now
are
coming
back
next
week
to
try
for
more.
Now,
