Nice fish. Little strange that they threw your rattlebait. I'm 3 for 3 on mine so far. 5 for 5 total so far. Best start I,ve ever had with these fish. Still no fish in many areas I normally fish yet. Guess I may have to take another long drive on the weekend.
Tonight is the night Ive waited for all year

yeah I always find it odd how they throw crankbaits, there is teeth marks on the bait so it was in the mouth, but some how it threw it.

It's because of all the leverage they exert while they are rolling around. Pops the hooks right out. Sometimes they pull so hard that the hooks tear out. What pound test do you use. I had this problem much less when I quit using braid and started using 8 lb pline cxx extra strong or 10 lb pline evolution. Extra strong whip knots alot if its cold. Both the lines can handle the bruisers.

Nice fish! I told you guys there are more big fish this year. What did you catch him on. Were there a lot of fish in the harbor again? What I mean is would you say a new wave came in?
Nice one but Iam going to have to kill you because that looks like a hen and I need eggs.cichlidfinder;3441296; said:popped my first one of the year in MC at the peir.

...jk but I do need to catch a henI use 15 pound power pro. the reason I missed the one was because it took off up river and left me with a bunch of slack line I didnt even know I had it hooked till it started jumping, I said to the other guys whos fish is that then I seen my lure hanging from its mouth.Schneider;3441331; said:
