Shasta Lake 2/16/10

OTW 9:30,  trolled a kastmaster into the stiff wind a couple hours for 1 hit that came un-buttoned as I reached for the camera 
 
Drifted secret agents under a slip bobber on the way back hitting some coves to escape the  N. winds.

While ashore taking a piss with the offering still in the water, the bobber diappears and the rod goes bendo!

I put willie away   grab the rod, and after a nice fight pull in a 15in. bass.
 Smallie, spotted, or cross?

Shot some video,


Beautiful day at the lake when the wind laid down around 2:00
Still rising, 55 ft. from crest.

spot. could tell before you even landed it by the way it fought.

nice fish and lots of jealousy from me - wish i could fish during the week. strangely i'm feeling a little sick right now, might have to miss work tomorrow.  i think its food poisoning 

Nice one, Tad.   

Congrat on the catch!  You should go on shore and "piss" more often next time    Thanks for the video Tad.

Tad must be that secret agent you released ashore.

Nice spotty there Tad. I'm sure that was some excitement there seeing your rod
bends while taking a leak.

Funny how it always seems to work out that way!  Nice fish Tad, looking forward to getting out on the lake with you this spring.  I'm looking out my window over the Sac right now though, and that looks mighty inviting too.  Keep at it!

thats like deer hunting, they always walk by when your pants are down...

Nice Tad!  Glad you made it out in this weather.  We just got back from Mt Shasta.  Got a cabin there to celebrate V day.  I wish I had taken my kayak, as Siskiyou looked very nice with trout jumping all over.  But I was there to make WAF points, not loose them    At least I got to feed some fish at the hatchery with my daughter.

I hope the weather holds, maybe we can make it out next week! 

By the way, the hat looks very cool!

Matt

i'm gonna have to stop pissing in my footwell and start heading to shore more often!
Good one Tad!...even if you had to stash willie with a lil'trickle left.
