Watch For Next Years Show March 5-6, 2011 -

Testimonial from Richard, Pattie and friend Charlie. We would like to share a fabulous day of fishing and the picture above - It turned out to be our best fishing day ever - all because of your hoss hawg bait!.

We are all experienced fishermenfisherwoman and usually fish the Illinois River in Central, Illinois. We normally use different types of bait including stink bait. Sonny's has been the choice for several years (we also had tried several other brands of stink bait but always went back to Sonny's) and we were doing ok - we have caught 15 to 20 Catfish in a day using it. A friend had told me about Hoss Hawg bait. We found it - but the cost was about $25 - because of the price we decided to stick with Sonny's - after all it couldn't be that much better could it? Today we invited our good friend Charlie, an 82 year old from Missouri for a day of fishing. We wanted it to be special because he is facing open heart surgery and we wanted to catch a lot of fish, so...we spulged and bought some Hoss Hawg bait! Well, at first Charlie (with his favorite 30+ year old poles) had his own ideas' of only Sonny's - and he had brought his own. He sat there and caught one now and then while my wife Patty and I were using the hoss hawg bait and catching one after another. When asked if he wanted to try the Hoss Hawg bait, at first he said no but after seeing how many Patty and I were catching he decided to give it a try. Well, he immediately started catching them on both his poles at the same time and was having the time of his life. We all had so much fun and enjoyed a day that we will never forget. In all we got 42 Catfish (biggest almost 4 lbs and an average of 2 lbs for the rest) in about 5 hours - we could have gotten more but we were so tired from pulling all those catfish in, we had to reluctantly quit for the day. How great it would be to be 30 again!

Testimonial from a fan of Hoss's Hawg Bait

Dear Sirs;
I just had to share this picture with you all. My stepdad, Virgil Taylor, uses this bait and my Son-in-Law, Mike Arnett, uses it also. The two boys are Sam & Josh Arnett and the boys do pretty well in fishing. Course with their dad, and great grandpa, they don't really have much of a choice. Oh, and their mom, my daughter, is just as bad (or good). Many people who viewed this pic shared that this would be an awesome photo for an advertisement. Hope you like it!!!!
