Doug and I went out the other night. Some one was working on Mountain time being two hours late, but that's ok. That's when the fish came in. Good thing I had the fresh bunker.

Ended up with four fish caught. I caught a 38" 26lbs striper and a 35" 15lbs.? The larger had some strange markings on it. See another site for report, sorry guys, We both couldn't figure out what it was. I thought it was just from the fight in. lots of rock in the area and she swam like hell. nice zinggggggg to the reel a few time. Oh yeah Dug caugh two blues. One even Blainerized for your viewing pleasure. thought i could post pic works on other v bulletin soft ware

Ive got more than a few gnarly bass, some big ones like that too. I wouldnt have kept them, and if i did i wouldnt eat them, just to be on the safe aide. Someone else might know otherwise tho.
