To be fair, Chuck, that is the magic popper.

You guys made it happen, that’s the way to live life.
Memories forever.

Went to Otay Sunday and it was the first time on the water since November 1st so I was just excited to be out on the water as far as the fishing it was a little slow for me only managed one to hand and lost a few saw alot of followers on the scope with reaction baits but no one wanted to commit ...

Great job out there getting it done. Plus it is cool that you learned more about your electronics too!

Any pics of the big ones?

Great post! Love those fat pale ones =)
That's my kind of lake, low amount cover, emphasizing the structure targeting.
Keep up the good life!

Great post and it sounds like it was a great time out there. It is on my list for sure. Cheers!

Love the Social D hat!
Nice day on the water for sure!

With rain in the forecast and things I need to do around the house, I figured I better get some fishing in today otherwise I will have to wait till next week. Chatted with Dannicus in the parking lot before launching and told him I want to try some different baits in deep water today. Then it was ...

Looks like a couple of nice ones.
Hope we get some much need rain.
Thanks for the post!

Nice fish!!!!!!!!!!!

Good to meet the guy behind the fish. Watched you and Dannicus do what you do. I held on to a couple to try out my camera button.

I could feel your pain through every sentence you wrote. Strange to see a saltwater bass in the freshwater ...

Glad you came out unscathed, for the most part. ;/o

No worries.
Still amazed of everything that you
went through. Dang! If I didn’t have a bunch of work to do yesterday morning, I probably would’ve drove up to Murray also.

Get a pair of keeper straps like https://www.amazon.com/Kicker-Keepers-Tether-Outcast-Sporting/dp/B00EU8RD6M or make your own. I had a buddy tell me to do that when I 1st started tubing, he said it was awful when you lose a fin. Never had a fin come loose yet though.

I like your excuse but what if ...

The CDFW App is pretty darn handy. Your current licenses are right there in the app, and you can even buy or renew through it. Your license will automatically populate in the app and they send you the hard copy in the mail. Pretty handy if you forget your paper license, just open the app and show it ...

What a day, I'm glad you are ok. And you managed to catch a fish.
