Bucket list fish out of San Diego Harbor: Angel Shark on a lure

Yes, my face is an overly saturated red mass. It's a condition I was born with. Fish was released soon afterwards.

What is this thing in my tackle box?

I’m new to fishing and I just got a new tackle box and I have no clue what this thing is. Can someone explain to me what it is, what it does, and how to use it? It has like a loop on one and and what looks to be a spike or something on the other end.

Clown knife fish on a 3 piece hard swimbait!

Got out last night doing a little bank beating and ended up getting this 5 pound clown just a little while after I had caught about a 4lb largemouth. Thought I had a giant bass till I got it on shore and was like what the heck is this haha. Really cool fish and a nice fight. Bait is the Pizz runt wake/shallow crank. Got this while cranking.

Making my own lures,how van i improve?

The wooden one i made today,in thinking of adding a lip (or a weight) to make it sink,ill also add paint and varnish (not sure what varnish,this is my first time making lures)

the cork one i made yeasterday and despite being goofy and made of household items it dives and functions like a regular crankbait

Recommend a spinning rod and reel

Looking for recommendations on what reel and rod to get. Had an accident and broke my pflueger president. Liked it a lot so I’m considering getting another one but was seeing if there is anything better for around the same price range. ($100) also a rod. Would mainly use this setup for white bass and panfish. Would like to be under $150.
