Mt.LassenLassie**Chabot 2/27 Fri.

Hit the window of opp. on Friday. It's a 30min. drive to the water so I was there at the crack of 8am, I had to load up in the morning and tie on lures in the parking lot, so I was a lil'late.
I planned to TROLL the WHOLE DAY!!, no matter how many tullie holes I paddled by.
Pic1~ Around the island I paddled, up to HalfmoonBay.

pic2~ Tullies I passed up, that I know hold LMBass, but I'm on a mission to get me a TROUT!

pic3~ Alligator headed canoe guy was on them, dropping power-bait

So did you have any luck?

What do you like to throw at the LMB in Chabot?

...down to the dam for nada I went. I did HT&R (hook,trough&release) a fiesty-full-finned one on my way back to where I saw a school of them holding off a point.
I had a brief shore stop to make and then I was gonna troll the SHIT out of that spot until I got one! I passed over the area once to confirm they where still holding tight and they were.

pic1~ Deer skull and leg bones, can you cay Mt.Lion!?

pic2~ spotted this savage FancyFeastHunter in a small cave on the mountain side.

pic3~ See that point to the left?  

So did you have any luck?

i did, but was targeting them $%^$%! trout, so I only spent 3 senko flings.


I was trolling a JSR5 on one and a Crawler-tippedNeedlefish one the other. The ShadRap got ALL the action. After a couple of hit&misses, one finally stuck! It jumped, tailwalked and tossed the lure as I cried in disbelief. Another pass and another ZZZZZZZZZZ goes the drag!!! This time IT STUCK, it jumped, tailwalked and cartwheeled itself, but oh NO, not this time!! I forgot my trout net and had to gill plate it into the yak. It fought hard and long, trying to get away......sorry!!
pic1~ 21.5' @ 6.5lbs.......WHYdidTHEYcutSOmuchTAILoff?!

pic2~ the top one was the hot one, bottom 2 I found there.

Dang...  congrats!!!

I shoulda went there instead.

beautiful fish and a nice lookin ride on the water

thanks fellas!!  if i hadn't caught a fish...THISreportWOULDnotEXSIST

Creeping up there. OH NO! Nice fish Adam. What did it do? Grind it'stail completely off in the cement pond? Congrats. Beautiful pics of the lake too.

they TRIM/CUT them up at that prestine lake in Mt.Lassen, right after they rub them down with *the clear* and then shoot them into a truck bound for the UrbanTroutKill&EatFestivus  
It took me 10 miles of trolling to get it....it was the FIRST TIME I EVER, packed it up and left after landing a fish.....i knew i would NOT beat or match it, so i left.  
DON'Thate!..CONGRADULATE!

Right on Adam! Must have been the shore break that changed your luck. can't wait to see the pic's. on dial up it takes 30 friggin minutes to load those huge pics. Alligator guy is to funny!

I hear you, Adam. That's why my Lafayette Res. trip on Sat. didn't get posted. Even though I got a fish almost as big as yours right to the boat but couldn't land him with the puny-trout net I brought along... Gotta try that gill plate grab. Congratulations on a BEAUTIFUL catch!

Nice fish!  Story was good too!

Dude! you bumped me off the my tenth place at the AOTY board.J\K
Anyhow, congrats on that beautiful rainbow. I need to get some off those trout
before the rockfish season starts.

When did you hook that beauty?  Before HMB? 28th was Saturday. Very nice fish!
