Lake Chabot 01.29.10

ooops! i found this action shot on the floor of the cutting room. The area to the right of the island/ near the single dock to the north. It was only 16ft. where all the fish were fooled.

Mooch?~ I hope you didn't take that "Lucky"    net home with you....DIDyou?

I think they use those as Ling bait in Ketchikan

nicely done Mooch.

You guys had some nice water yesterday.

Nice fish and pics!  Can't believe that thing fell for the sparkly glue on a home rigged rap!!!

Was the yak taking in water?

Looks like the fish God was shinning on you guys.
Thanks for the report and pics.

Mooch,
How can you leave all this great fishing? 
I hope you can handle those little fish up north.
You will be missed

A toad! That had to be fun on 4# line!

Nice Fish!
and he caught it on an X-mas ornament?

Do they cut the bill off the hat like they do the trout?

The mutant square tailed trout (M.S.T.T.) went 23 inches and made it to the 5 pound weight class. But interestingly enough, the other trout I caught (da smaller one) had this 6.5 inch plastic worm in his belly.....

The loaner kayak did have a leak and had to be drained every hour or so. I believe the leak was from the fish finder that was installed in between the knee area (as your are seated) and because of my sexy 240 lbs. status  , the water coming in through the scupper holes were seeping in the base of the FF (which was most likely installed with little or no sealant at all). But no big deal, Adam helped me empty the yak out every time (what a brow  )

Anyway, Thank you Adam for getting me out there! The weather was PERFECT and we had the lake to ourselves = Good times 

Wow, I would have guessed larger than 5 lbs.  I was thinking 7 or 8.

Crazy the things we find in the belly of a fish.

Mike, here's a  10.9 #  "MSTT" caught in Del Valle. This one measured 26.5.

That's the laziest fish I've ever seen. I'm surprised that it could even swim without a tail. It's all good though. A fish is a fish... I thought the one from Chabot would've been a bit bigger too.

WS = big trout

 .... you noticed the trend there buddy

Yeah, I remember that fish.  You got it on a secret agent if I recall.

Pictures can be deceiving and that is probably why I thought your whopper looked bigger than it actually was.
