i bought one of merg's 1st dvds he did. it's kinda rough in it's production. i believe he was still on house arrest at the time. yesturday i found myself at the cowltz barrier dam. only cause the cowlitz wasn't punched, thank god for the dams! found this older guy selling heavy twitching jigs, bought 2. i just tried to recall the merg techniques. lets see, cast out, let fall, wrist twitch the sst okuma, pause and repeat. i went 2 for 5 on hookups. the strike was abit tough at times to decypher. was only able to fish a couple hours, so left with a very nice adult and released jack. talked to another guy twitching who was a very good twitcher, he had 2 fish 15 mins of fishing.
