1 Sunday, October 4, 2015 SwitchBait Voice Over Long after countries like the US and organizations like the IMF are dust in the wind, people will still want to catch, or even just see a 1,500# blue marlin, won t they? I have invented the only lures in the world that a 1,500# blue, a 1,200# black marlin or a 1,500# bluefin tuna in open, clear, cold water, the colder the better has no natural defense to keep from striking. To get them to stop striking it, you would have to reverse 85,000,000 years of evolutionary warfare or going back to the middle of the Cretaceous where billfish first show up in the geologic record. Isn t this exactly what man has been searching for ever since there has been a mankind? Background In 1970, an 1,805# blue marlin was caught off Oahu. This fish was found to have a 155# yellowfin tuna in its belly. Blue marlin have a limited ability to thermoregulate. Larger individuals have the greatest temperature tolerance and blues encountered at the oily, fatty prey and oxygen rich colder limits of their range tend to be larger fish. Kona anglers recorded yellowfin and big eye tuna of a 100 or more pounds have been found in the stomachs of large blue marlin. Wikipedia. Bluefin tuna are endothermic and exploit the colder oily, fat building prey and oxygen rich regimes maintaining a core temperature ~12 degrees warmer than their ambient waters. While physically almost identical to bluefin, yellowfin rarely reach over 300#. Yellowfin are not endothermic and cannot exploit the same cold, oily, fat prey and oxygen rich sources of the bluefin. Through tagging research, it has been proven that the mortality rate of released fish like marlin is shockingly and unexpectedly low. This is not about me. It s not even about these precious, magical, world changing, not just fishing world changing lures. It s all about the magnificent evolutionary warfare adaptation super stars. Please take a kid fishing today. Disclaimer: No megalodons were killed or injured in the making of this video or website. Video The two lures on display are the 17 highly modified flopper with squid trailer leader demonstrated in the video and a 38 3D printer prototype. The actual samples offered will have a custom, detachable/replaceable mated nylon over mold trailer leader. These leaders will be made available to the Kickstarter customers. By all rights, the highly modified flopper 17 video samples shouldn t have even worked. They were designed for flopper diving, not for counter cadence whipping escape and especially not for extreme surface wake bulging. 1

2 FAQs Q - If large size is so important with these coveted mega fish, why not just make existing flopper skirted squids or hard lures 38 in length instead of their usual maximum? A - If you did that, the floppers would flop around even more than they already do, and be even less effective on the granders and larger, if that s possible. There really is no limit to how long we can make the SwitchBait. The longer we make it, the wider our unique counter cadence whip escape and the broader and higher the surface wake bulge push up. First version will be 38. Second will be 5 eventually reaching megalodon morsel size. I have firsts. Q - Why is speed so important for granders and bigger? A - Small blue and black marlin 300# and less behave like an entirely different species than larger 750# and larger fish. 300# and smaller marlin except in colder water will chase after and strike floppers trolled at 6-7 knots all day. Even if the floppers had any action at the necessary slow walk speed, which they don t, it is the wrong action anyway. Q - Do smaller 30# tuna, dorado or wahoo strike the SwitchBait too? A - You bet they do. For the first time a lure has such robust strike counter cadence whipping escape triggers that even heavy duty terminal tackle can be attached to it without compromising its strike provoking explosions. What this means is a 30# tuna that strikes the lead hook(they almost always do) and a grander marlin then strikes the tuna, chances are excellent it will become hooked itself on the stinger trailer circle hook(s). An added bonus is you can easily water release your fish while keeping your precious, magical SwitchBait. Instead of bait and switch it s bait and stick. Q - The colder the water temperature, the better SwitchBaits work. Why is this so important? A - Colder water is where the larger blue marlin and of course bluefin tuna are. It is because that is where their oily, fattening prey and oxygen are. Q - Why has it taken you so long for you to do a Kickstarter offering? A - I don t like not being in control of who gets and especially who doesn t get these precious, magical, world changing, not just fishing world changing lures. Q - Will there be another time these lures will be available to the public for cash? A - Not if I can help it. There will be a stop limit on this offering also. Q - Why is using species specific pheromone scent attractors ineffective with existing flopper lures? A - At their usual 6-7 knots or even at 3-4 knots, the scent will disperse far from the lure. Q - Why are species specific pheromone scent attractors so important? Under what conditions are they most effective? 2

3 A - Species specific pheromone attractors are especially effective on the coveted mega monsters. Pheromone scents become more effective with the drop of temperature on an order of magnitude, exactly where the coveted megas live and eat. Where did the sharks go to? Floppers are useless using pheromone scent attractors because their speed disperses the scent to the point of undetectability. Floppers don t work in warm water, and especially colder water. Q - Because this is a near surface lure, how will a marlin or bluefin tuna detect the extreme surface push up wake bulge and/or counter cadence whipping escape from 150 below? A - A 750# blue or black marlin has a 7-8 lateral line as the result of millions of years of evolutionary warfare adaptation to detect vibration, noise and pressure change. Q - Is the actual physical size of the SwitchBait the only factor that transmits size perception? A - The slow, lazy counter cadence whipping escape of our hard body-trailer leadersquid depicts the action of a much larger, slower, less maneuverable, easy but escaping meal. Our exaggerated surface wake bulge transmits the illusion of an escaping fish many times larger. Q - Why is presenting SwitchBaits using kayaks so important? A - I envision mother ships carrying kayaks with docking for a center console deploying kayaks for the hook up. Fish will be played out from the center console. Flopper lures are even more useless behind slow kayaks than dragged flopping around at 6-7 knots. The only thing that consistently works on these coveted monsters with kayaks now is live bait. Sharks. Q - If the floppers don t work for the megas, what are the few coveted megas being caught on now? A - Large(15# or better) live bait. Q - While live bait is the only existing method that consistently catches mega marlin and bluefin, what is its downside and limitations? A - Availability of the right bait fish species. A- Availability of the right size (at least 15#). A - Catching the bait. A- Keeping bait fish alive and lively. A - Maintaining proper presentation speed(slow walk). A - Proper rigging - hooking, sewing, and terminal tackle. Most fall far short here. A - No strike provoking explosion counter cadence whipping escape. A - No strike provoking explosion surface push up wake bulge. A - Difficult to use and be effective with species specific pheromone scent attractants. Where did the sharks go? A - Even if you execute all of the above flawlessly there is still one, big problem: Sharks 3

4 Q - Why will this lure be even more effective on black than blue marlin, if that s possible? A - black marlin are more acutely vulnerable to speed, slow walking speed. We are about to discover that 1,500# blue marlin not only still exist but that there are more of them than we ever dreamed of. Q - Why aren t there videos on Discovery, National Geographic and WFN offshore fishing programs showing mega marlin striking and being caught on flopper lures? Why is there no program like Shark Week showing marlin over 300# striking flopper lures? A - They don t work. Q - If a grander or better strikes the SwitchBait and gets hooked, what prevents the hook holders or eyelets from being ripped out like on a flopper? A - Unlike floppers, both squid and hard lures, SwitchBaits employ a special hook and eyelet holding system that will not rip out. Q - Do you think megalodon still exists? A - Yes, I do, only not in great numbers. Just because we have found no fossil record of them for the past 12 million years proves nothing. Perfect, incredibly rare anaerobic, quick bury and low energy conditions must exist before fossilization preservation can occur. The chances of actually finding these fossils is immeasurably remote. Especially if their range changes. Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. Except for man, nothing has changed since then. Their prey, fully grown whales hasn t changed enough to bring their demise. Their only competition is man and orcas. Orcas kill and partially eat baby whales, not fully grown whales. They are probably nocturnal and endothermic like white, mako, salmon and porbeagle sharks. Because our strike provoking triggers only increase with size, these critters can now finally be flushed out. Especially from the cold waters where they hunt and eat. We are going to need a bigger imagination. I get firsts again. Q - Besides provoking explosive strikes from coveted mega monsters, why are your lures so important? A - DOD grant financed magical electronic detection, propulsion, hydrodynamics and aircraft technology can for the first time take maximum advantage of not only catching mega fish but also advancing science, discovery and understanding the biggest, most coveted apex pelagic predators that swim while fighting the evil, selfish and remotely owned select few who are systematically, comprehensively and irreversibly killing entire shoals of migrating tuna and our precious oceans with factory ships and their miles of baited long lines. Survival rate of released fish like marlin is shockingly high. Not so much for turtles, sharks and sea birds. The good news is they are extremely vulnerable from many different directions and levels. Let the games begin. What fun. Also disabled veterans, especially PTSD, doing critical, important and rewarding component sub assemblies. Also a version of take me fishing for veterans and their families. Kickstarter 4
