your very 1st Yak hook up pic

Actually this is the earliest pic I could find from  Santa Cruz caught just outside the harbor 30'....!!!!????!!!

My first boat, Old Blue.

Bushy

My first largish LMB out of Lake Chabot in my, now gone, Lifetime Tamarack 110.  I remember randomly throwing a wacky hook Senko in to some reeds for the heck of it, then BAM! Took me on my first sleigh ride. Glad the 6lb flourocarbon - to- braid FG knot held up!
