A while back I saw a video of a lure that put me in awe. The lure is made from Think Tank Lures and it is called the triggerfish. I knew I had to get my hands on this lure.

Many of the older Jon boats we buy today are not equipped with livewells, and in order to fish tournaments, we’re required to keep fish alive by means other than a stringer.
