Triploid trout are sterile and cannot reproduce. They are also more difficult for hatcheries to grow. As a result, trout stocking in CA has been significantly reduced state wide. I'm told that the reduction has been as much as 50%. While other factors like the shut downs at the Fillmore hatchery and...

Congrats to the guy who caught the fish. Looked like a monster spot. It sounds like you did the best you could to try and get it weighed. It wouldn't surprise me if someone caught the fish again and it turned out to be the record. You can get a scale IGFA certified by mailing it to them. They do som...

Size of lure is a consideration. Are you talking 5 inch paddletail or 12 inch Slammer?

Calcutta TE has been the top tier swimbait reel for a long time, and still is. What a great piece of equipment. Very little maintenance required, super reliable.

Nice fish. Why edit the video at 3:26 and 4:22 though. Here I reach for the net and... cut, now I net the fish. Ah a double hookup both times. Hooray

What's a swimbait?

I went through all this like you are describing. My setup was a Fortrex 101 with an external transducer. What fixed it was running a 16ga wire from the skeg of the trolling motor (using a screw to attach it) to the negative post of the starter. It was a complete PITA to run it on my boat but it fixe...

Heh. Just trying to lighten the mood. I remember fishing the Clear Lake WON proam as a AAA in 2000 when the senko first came out. Watching Mike Reynolds repairing a pack of 5in green pumpkin senkos in the parking lot because you couldn't get more. I thought it was the stupidest looking lure on earth...

This boat catches giant bass. It's ready to go fish tomorrow. Put the gas motor on to fish anywhere, or pull it off and add the stern trolling motor to fish Contra Loma, Rancho Seco, Shadow Cliffs, etc. 4-stroke rating gets you on San Pablo or DVL. Here is an older photo of it. Taking some new pics ...

I only want to fish in tournaments where I can be certain there are not too many other guys who are better than me at fishing.

I always trip out on how big name tournament fishermen virtually never get involved in these issues. Maybe the tipping point will come when the limit on largemouth bass at the Delta gets changed to unlimited and two weeks later you run up on your favorite spot the morning of a big Pro/Am only to fin...

Guys - this has very little to do with fishing and everything to do with water rights. DFG is just being used as a pawn by water interests in the Central Valley. If the 'Coalition for a Sustainable Delta' (read front for agribusiness desiring water and water rights) can get DFG to pass regulations t...

Wouldn't it be interesting to see real data on failure rates for comparable engines over time so as to be able to make a data driven decision? :) That's the nerd in me.

You need to go talk to the people who decided to charge the 3 bucks if you don't want to pay it. Sounds like MWD. Go find out who made the decision. Talk to them. Learn their rationale. Learn the laws that they operate under. Look for the opportunity to convince them to change their mind, or prove t...

Paul - totally agree they should not allow observers when everyone else has a co. Doesn't matter the specific details of what happens in person's boat, it's just not right on principal. Sounds like you were getting bit on a specific cast. The co should recognize that and respect your cast even if yo...

My take on the Delta (this from someone who goes only a few times a year) This hyacinth is bass paradise and it's real thick. A lot of bass are never seeing a cast. With the pressure you get on the delta it just pushes more fish in. And those ones you just can't get. So you don't have access to prob...
