Dustin is an animal now in my eyes. A nice animal that is.

More pics. Craig, thanks for posting that picture of my diaper. Remember boys "Leave no trace, pack your trash, and don't forget your shit tickets!" redyak

Un-freaking-beliveable, all you guys are animals. I have tackled that hill quite a few times in the past and no it well, with diffrent gear and its a job. Congrats on all the fish that were caught and sorry i could not make it. Maybe next time (and that's a big maybe.)  

Thanks to Ravensblack for organizing this epic trip.  I had a great time on the water.

I teamed up with Jim, Redyak to get down the cliff, as we both have Cobra Navigators with are pretty light boats.  Heading up the cliff though, I teamed up with Tigerfish and his HEAVY ASS hobie.   I've got some sore muscles, but it was worth it.

Tigerfish outfished everybody with his two lings, big red and black, and the rest of his stringer filled with chinas.  I kept a good sized red and black, and two ok-sized chinas.  Released about 15 smaller chinas and gophers. 

Wow!  WTG  What a great post and what a hump to get to the water.  You guys definitely earned your catch! 

What a cool trip!  That climb down and up the hill look way harder than Elk, but it looks like something I want to do.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. Maybe again in October? Who's in? We have until October 31st.

I'd be down to give it one more shot. 

You guys are cracking me up! That cliff's been done. Let's do something even harder. How about The Grade. Right where Sonny took those pics. Craig, will you carry my yak up that one? If so, I'm going for a full rf limit. We'll just rappel down with our yaks tucked under our pits. Or we could try a Pedotti's launch and land at Russian Gulch or Goat Rock. Leave a truck down there or hitch a ride back. I'm sure some kindly tourists won't mind loading a half dozen yaks on top of their rent-a-car and throwing a 100lbs of smelly fish & abs in the trunk. jim

That was a f n haul .That was my best day of fishing off of a yak .John once again thanks for your help otw .For me the the second ling was the best . Felt like a rock .

You are a serious bunch of hard men! You are also CRAZY. Love it when someone comes up with an idea that is nuts and seems undo able. It attracts the hardcore like a light draws a moth. These trips forge iron clad friendships, are burned into the soul and never forgotten. Strong work boys,

I am so happy that we got to spend some time together on that precious water for soon we never will again.Remember it well my friends. A defining moment in kayaking and brotherhood.
