Mendo is on...Jellyfish on FIRE!!!

Great pictures, Sean. Inspiration for future trips.

Dang... the White family and Lake Mendocino now own all of the AOTY bass categories (Largemouth, Smallmouth, and Striped)!

You guys ROCK.ATTA boy. Jelly!

Remind me not to turn outlaw in that part of NCKA country.That posse is tough! Great job guys... Jelly when I get up there do you guide?

Congrats Jelly. *VERY* nice Striper. Double since you did it in a lake--people usually have to go to the Delta to find them that size and even then they are rare.

Keep it up and before you know it, you'll have one bigger than Joel's Salmon 

You've already beat my personal best Striper. 

Kayak Angler of the Year competitors--watch out--there's a new gun in town  .

WOW!!  Those are both incredible fish.  Niether one of you will ever forget this day.

Nice fish Jelly  You know that Mooch Officially hates you now  You made your Papa proud.

Looked like a day of "Monsters"  Well done all of you! Especially "da jellyfish" 

both of those fish are going to be tough to beat on the AOTY.  Congrats!!!

Thanks guys, today is a real memory moment and I think I might have a shot at big striper of the year!

The first minute I noticed some fish and birds going crazy so I jammed over to the fish but by the time I got to the fish in the east branch they had stopped boiling. I got a bait from my dad (scwafish) and by the time I had my line out Darin had a fish on. Not long later I got slammed and was bendo. I thought there was something wrong with my drag because I was near the end of my spool and had to put my thumb down on the spool and tighten my drag. I was in a back forth fight with the fish. I would gain a little then lose line.

I knew it was a good fish because I'd never fought a striper like that. For a moment I thought it could be a cat since we were in the east branch. I got the fish to the boat and I was going crazy the head on the thing was huge I lipped it and hauled the beast up on to my yak. Thats about the same time I started yelling like, well mooch.

Everybody was freaking out including me  The only loss was when I lipped the monster my thumb got shredded.  I'll live knowing it was from a huge fish!!!!!!

Dood!    Unreal!!!!  Speechless!!! 

Siick.  Nice striper, Jelly!  And not a skunk to be seen among the bunch to boot.  WTG guys!

Nice fish Jelly   You know that Mooch Officially hates you now  

yup...that jelly kid is starting be a pain in the ass Hey jelly, how about picking up a new Hobie or a sport......like tennis......or maybe learn to how play the banjo  

FISHING IS BAD FOR YOU....FISHING IS BAD FOR YOU
 

Seriously - congrats on catching a fish of a lifetime   But then again, you'll have many more opportunities to come   Who knows, maybe you'll catch a bigger one tomorrow  

To Sean and Leah, you guys raised a very cool cat  

Awesome, that's 2 huge pigs (striper & LMB) in one day!

Very nice fish, congratulations!

I didn't even know Mendo carried such big stripers - what's the biggest reported there?
