San Diego & SoCal Fishing Forums

I know Damian Thao has been seen on this site before (maybe it was the old site?)

I thought everyone would appreciate this toad!! Except for Beef Shawman, since he's the only one with a greater PB that's on here...

I would not think that fishing with a waterdog on a bed should be sportsman like but, that's his deal / this guy Thao had a day man /that's how I would want to catch them

Was the waterdog rigged on a 5/0 weighted treble hook...

Subject Thao's beast. Would like to retract my comment. I found out from a couple of guys yesterday that Mr Thao was spotlighting these toads. Not in any way how I would like to catch them. The comment I made about about soaking a waterdog on a bed was referring to the beef and beer dude. Not sure if the spotlighting thing is true but, it's just another form of kookism that now exists and that's just my opinion.
If not true congrats If true I could care less. Go get on your electric Mountain bike and have a great time.

He caught a 14.73 yesterday. Lmao. And he may have another today.

False alarm. Today’s only a 10.76.
