I just can't believe that you're actually questioning my catch I always though you had funny feelings for me

I questioned the fish..because you passed me, on the AOTY list.
     "funny" feelings in a GOOD way!   love you too!

Mooch, great pictorial report.  It was nice meeting you finally and seeing your diving prowess.  Keep doing it, get more and more comfortable and you'll be the one giving me tips in no time. 

Stu/Fuzz thanks for inviting us and making the trip possible.  Maya and I had an awesome time.  At first I thought the high altitude was the cause for my labored breathing.  But looking back, I think it was all the food that compressed my lungs. 

Freddie, your boys are sweethearts. 

We'll be  up there in a few weeks and hope to see you all then. 

Lake Tahoe was a blast!!!  Great people, food, weather and lots of fun, fun, fun. 

Fishing wise it was a bust. I paddled around for about a half hr, scanning the FF off the point.  I did zig, zags in 90-260 feet for Nada.  Winded, I tried jigging for a short moment, but knew it was in vain.  You can't catch what isn't there, so instead of fishing, it was playing.

Here's a few pics:

That Mack looks well fed.

Mooch mentioned that he thought the same, but turned out to be bursting with eggs.  Probably a little of both.

Yup, when I opened her up, I had BOTH hands FULL of eggs....I've never seen a fish carry so many...felt really bad for killing a spawner

Whatever... You got over it pretty quick Killa. You gutted it and ate it up like candy... I didn't see too many tears either.

Maybe the hungry ones.  But the horny ones (both sexes) were all over your truck.
