Batch 1 owner

Just a reminder to everyone. Maybe it's not vital or critical. But I'm a batch 1 owner we have had our thors for over a year now. I did the thermal putty mod day 1 with my Thor. So I decided today was the day to check the putty again. Most of my putty was pretty dry and crumbly so I redid it again. Temps are back really low again. Playing luminescent platinum and holding steady at 50c. Just a reminder to maybe check your own putty and or redo it!!!

Also fyi

Aliexpress has some really nice little hook kits with a size 1,2,3 1/0, and 2/0 wide gap hooks. These come in a cute little plastic tackle tray. I combined 3 sets of hooks into one box, and small pouch. And was able to create these really nice ultra lite carry boxes.

These have bare 1/8 oz jig heads,1/16oz, size 1 wide gap hooks. And then plastics and my nipper. I could carry these two boxes, leader line and a rod and have a great day fishing just about anywhere and for anything.

Whole bunch

Of really incredible and awesome new shapes and sizes of these supercontinent soft plastics off of Ali express. So far I've tested 1 of the craw shapes and a bug shape that isn't pictured here and these are literal crack to the fish on a 3.5g jig head. Or a size 1 wide gap.

So annoyed with GWCC

So I understand it was public vote as to how gwcc continues... But did you guys seriously try to trust these guys to build another website.... I'm just asking honestly .. what any of you competitors were thinking .. this contest has been so muddied up. What a terrible mishandling of data and beyond. Now we can give them another chance to mishandle our data vs just uploading images to a judges Google drive. Wild. I'm good. My entry will be fully withdrawn.

You've not only allowed them to make another insecure ai hosted Web page .. and also allowed everyone who wasn't done all the extra time in the world to finish. Gross.

Gwcc guy again

audio on

Heyyyy alll!!!! I know again I'm sure you're all mighty sick of me but I still need your help voting opens in a little less than 2 weeks. I'm seriously gonna need help pushing my model to victory! I would love to feel like Atom... The underdog. I put a lot of blood sweat and tears into this entire process. I spent my summer writing the story and building the models. Please consider creating a voting account for GWCC 2026 and come see my model along with tons of other really really impressive models. Someone's even building a functioning animatronic!!!! Really neat stuff.

Please enjoy this clip I have compiled using some of my media.

*Ai was used to read the script and generate the backgrounds of the images. But the photos are original photos, and the script is original. This falls within the confines of what is allowed for said contest.*

Pb perch

I know it's nothing crazy... But normally I'm catching much smaller perch at this spot. So today while texting my new fenwick eagle, which by the way is nice. But money doesn't make the fisherman or make up for skills. I hooked my pb creek perch.

u/TapFit8961 — 2 months ago

Hooked into

Started my day off with the 2nd or 3rd cast at my usual ultra lite perch spot, and a drum hit my line I fought it all the way in, and he broke off. No big deal. Continued the day in several of my favorite spots along the creek.

I know I just got my shakespere micro... And I liked it a lot really great budget blank. But grabbed a fenwick eagle ultra light 5'ft 6in. To match the premium reel..

u/TapFit8961 — 2 months ago

Personal best

Drum on my micro series with the pfleuger what a tank of a drum sure was a fun fight.

Caught on Shakespere micro series 5 ft 6in Pflueger supreme 25 series 6lb revolve to 6lb fluro leader 1/16th oz kalins orange jig head, with a chartreuse and white crappie scrub.

Dropped the line in a normal perch spot and let it drop a lil tighter to the bridge post. And this guy just smoked me. Thank God for the fisherman that was up river a bit, he held tension while I climbed my way down to the bank

u/TapFit8961 — 2 months ago

New setup..

New setup... It's mostly reel but man is this a serious lil upgrade.

Shakespere micro series 5 foot 6inch

Please help me turn my picture...

Please help me turn my picture into a magazine cover style edit. I am in a contest and need a little non AI help in turning this into a magazine/fight promo style photo. Please do not use ai.

I would like a heavyweight showdown tag line added, and maybe remove the colors? Or do something dramatic? Basically I'm trying to turn this picture I took of my models into a "fight night promo"

Hemoxian showdown

Built a hemoxian showdown for gwcc 2026. Seriously stoked with how this diorama is turning out.

Need to finish the ropes and corners of my boxing ring yet.

u/TapFit8961 — 3 months ago

Working on the diorama

Working on putting the finishing touches on my Real Steel fan fiction and model build. This has now spun out into building a full scale ring for these guys. Measuring 24in x 24in. These two fighters look just absolutely stunning in the ring.

If you are interested in seeing, or reading the fan fiction. Or helping me win

Perch perch and a few more perch

Despite it being 90 plus degrees I was able to trick a bucket load of perch in my creek. I'm really loving this ultra light fishing

u/TapFit8961 — 3 months ago

My take...

My take on how to give the abstract. Using a 3/32 core weedless size 1/0. Throwing it in the public pond later this evening
