Re: Ca Delta Whopper Plopper - Video

This goes back to your goal with these productions. To me, it seems like the product you ar...

I think there should be more to an the answer than just free or not free. It's very clear you put a bunch of work and time into the production of these videos (drone, editing, time, etc).

Re: Giant Lineside on the Deps SS250

I had a couple 30 plus inch stripers follow up my D-bomb while pitching tulles on the Molekummne a mile north of Tower Park. Not sure if that's normal for them to be that far up this time of year...but I got a good look at them right next to the boat....and they were stripers.
