Got this shot of my buddy and a beautiful Cutty a couple weeks ago!

one of the biggest challenges I've come across is getting chinook to eat a fly....sometimes takes many days of skunk waiting for it all to come together.....when it does its pretty sweet.



The results are pretty tasty, too.

Now that's a fish. Nice job.

Here's an old one of me looking a little crazy. Night snook on the 8 foot Crowder w/ Stradic 4000. 20 lb Power Pro is the only thing that gets these big boys out from the pilings.

Here are some more action shots from last August.

Sam, one of our engineers, with a nice Ono caught at Alijos Rocks off of Baja.


Me with a football yellowfin caught on a Marauder at Alijos.


Me with three 40lb+ Humboldt squid caught on a 2oz. Megabait jig.

Here is a pic of one of the five trout I caught yesterday here in New Jersey for opening day. The others I caught were alot smaller, this guy was about 13 inches and 3 pounds. The weather was really cold for it being early april and the fish were a bit lethargic and slow to bite.

[SKISC]

These are from last year.

Sweet kid stoke and a SICK quiver, solid work.

I thought we were talking REAL FISH here. All fish caught out of Kaneohe, Oahu.

In order:

450 lb Blue Marlin

42 Bull Mahimahi

Full deck: Mahi, 2 ono (35 lbs), aku (skipjack), and shibi (juvenile ahi). We missed 4 marlin this day, which would have given us the clean sweep.

Last pic is for Hop: Hooked up to 45 lb white ulua (Giant Trevally) on Midway at the cargo pier.

[hop]

Nice!

I can hear that ulua make that reel scream... Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!

[Lumpy]

First pic...my seldom used Clacka

Second...eastern OR steelhead

third...lazy beer drinking Lower Columbia Springer fishing last week.

I caught and released all nates. All other caught in the boat were hatchery eaters! Nothing as good as the first spring chinook of the year. Gamie sat next to our boat watching as we brought the first native up. He said it was the biggest fish he'd seen that year, pushing 30-35 pounds. Hope that one makes it past the tribes nets and has babies.

Great trip to Montana last weekend. Not a hog, but it was a great day. I had to shotgun 2 beers by 11AM due to an abundance of whities landed...

pyramid lake NV , lake Lahontan cutthroat trout
fishers Island NY, 40lb stripe bass caught on 10lb test

[DEVO]

OK I'll play. These were all caught off Newport, RI over the last couple of seasons.

[DEVO]

..and a couple from Gloucester, MA

[Free Range Lobster]

apm: i doubt that was a 40lb striper.

This is 20ish:




This is 60ish:



40 would have a fat belly on it.

What FRL said. That's the smallest 40# striper I've ever seen. Nice fish though!

Me with three 40lb+ Humboldt squid caught on a 2oz. Megabait jig.

Wow - rod & reel for squid?! I never considered that possibility. Squid = yummy.

[hop]

Yep! We rodded and reeled for squid every night for 4 months but never got the action like we did with these Dosidicus off of Baja. They fight HARD... between their wings and their water jets they can really move. Some of these guys took lots of 65# spectra off a full drag before I could stop them. Plus, they're cannibals, so often times we'd lose the hooked one to the rest of the group when we were bringing them in.

We never ate these big ones; they went straight into the science freezer after sampling. The little guys? Yeah, they taste gooooooood.

[scoober]

Little king, maybe 25lb.

[Pow4Brains]

Yup, it's a trout.

Here's a pic from when I lived in Seward back in the old days of 2002. This was probably the best job I've ever had; I was paid to drive a 28' boat around the Kenai Fjords National Park and look for and track killer whales. If I couldn't find KW's, I was supposed to look for humpbacks. If I couldn't find them (or once I was done with them, we didn't have to track them), I was supposed to count Steller sea lions. Once I did that, I fished until we ran out of fuel, which was usually after three days or so. I'd return to Seward, deal with data, and head back out a few days later. I caught a lot of nice silvers, lingcod, and black rockfish. Amazingly enough my luck did not hold for halibut and I never caught one from my boat.

Every evening we'd anchor up (preferred spots were Natoa Cove, Pony Cove, 3 Hole Bay, and that tiny little bay on the SW side of Glacier Island) and I'd grill up one of the fish I'd caught that day for dinner. Looks like that night was another silver!

We'd fill our fishboxes with glacial ice to keep the fishies fresh until we got back to port. Mmmmm.

Notice the lucky hat... it's the same one as the Alijos pics. Hmm...
