11/2 Kayak Crew Outing

[Limits]

...except we weren't on yaks. 

Long time coming, but the Striper rides again!

David (joeblo) with his first ever cabazon...and a nice one at that.


Another look


Ron (hammr) trying to 'enhance' his fish


...but this is more like it


we caught a few of these as well as a ton of browns


But the red vermillion and coppers came on strong towards the end of the day.  Kevin (the1luder) with a typical grade red.


One of mine


Me with another one.  It was that wide open.  LOL


Thanks fellas for helping me test out the ride.

David - safe travels to the East and best of luck with the new endeavor.  See you in Dec and again for next year's charter.

Ron/Kevin - see you guys soon!   


Bonus pic from a few weeks back.  Kevin and I hit up our old stomping grounds.  He took big bug honors with a nice 4+ lb critter.  Pictures do this beast no justice, it was a nice'un.

So killer Tommy!  Thanks for posting up as it looked like a great trip on the striper (BEAST of a Cabby!).  I could never forget the Catalina adventure on that thing though.  What a blast!

In the running!

Glad you got the boat up and running, Tommy

That is in my top 3 trips on the sled.  I've killed plenty of dodos and tuna, but the overall mojo we had on that trip was epic. 

Although I didn't score a yellow, watching you land 2 nice'uns and Mike asking if he could catch one...then actually doing so!  Oh man that was sweet.


Remember these?



Mike's first ever calico on a swimmie.  Chunky 4 lb 10 oz.


Mike's 'made to order' yellow.  First every yellow for him!


One of yours


and who could forget, jinxing the Fu!  lol



We'll have to revisit the island once the Striper is back to her old self....
