I will try to find the light extension apparatus photos from 40 years ago we made for crappie at night on lake fork when it opened up .
it held 3 or 4 old school head lights above the water at about 6 foot away from the boat .
it was all aluminum as well .
200 to 300 crappie a night with.... wait for it ,,,,,,rod stewart all cranked up in the dark ....
yes we experimented with loud rock and roll in the dark and it became clear that rod stewart was best with the lights on at night
brought back some fond memories when you said it was aluminum
