Thanks for the replys.....I like the "great pyramid" idea!

Anway....I dont own the rocks I fish, so its open game to anyone who is dedicated enough to search, find and land bass should they find any of the spots I fish. Anybody can go out at 2am and chuck eels into the water and find a 40#er on the end of their line. Landing the fish is another story. That being said....if someone is intentionally following me night after night thats a different story. I dont know any of you from this site,other than seeing pictures and reading your story's. Been a member here since 03' and posted a few times but never posted pictures of large fish I caught in the past. And there has been many. I prefer to be a "lurker" and enjoy this site very much. This year obviously has been different ,and I felt like I would share a few with you all.

The person/wetsuiter I met the other night has been confirmed through a message I received last night. I dont know him personally but I do know he fishes very,very hard and has many large fish under his belt. Not because of his "movie star" status, but because he is dedicated to catching large fish and earned that status because of this dedication and fishing ability,which I admire. Accolades come from hard work and a by-product of that hard work is publicity, particularity if your catching stuff that folks fish all there lives for but come up empty.

I fish hard and this year I thought I would share some of my experiences/journeys with you all. Even if the pictures expose one or two of my spots I think it was worth it as I get to share some of my accomplishments/disappointments....this sometimes can be a lonely sport. You all seem like a good bunch and we all enjoy something that has become sort of an addiction for me.

Take care.

NICELY DONE, SHaven!! thanks for sharing the pix and the stories.
in the end, the tales we regale ourselves with serve to proffer our sport and fuel the desires of our Striper Dawns and Dreams. your voice is new, and encouraging, and we can never have toooooo much of THAT around here. besides, it's ALLways nice to hear when one of our "own" is catching!!

Eternal optimism is an essential motivator.
Stories and pictures (like you've posted) help me to believe it can happen to me so keep em' comin'!

i"f you're out catching, ALL the time,,,,,,,,,,,,

I fight forest fires and travel around the Country doing so. Most times of the year I am busy as heck, from instructing at fire academys in AZ and CO, fighting fires and I am in charge of most of the Prescribed/Controlled burns here in the state (state forests,etc). The fall (Sept-Nov) are usually slow until December when Southern Cali. gets their Santa Ana's. This time of year I take most of my vacation and comp. time too fish and a few days to bow hunt.

Dangerous stuff, very dangerous. I'm glad you are having a good fall, you deserve it.

awesome line of work~~~
and thank you for doing what you do!

the Santa Ana winds are no joke in SoCal. i used to live in Arcadia and worked in Temple City for a coupla summers. i've never seen anything quite like the San Gabriel Mts on fire at night ,,,,,,for nights on end,,,,, as you see it from the Foothills area just beneath them.

glad to see you maximizing your time off and racking up the pb's!!
you are on a roll, Fireman, and good luck on the antlered ones.
