Just bought a 8" spro bbz1 in the rainbow trout color and wanted to get a feel for the action. Never used a swim bait bigger than 4" before so this is quite the leap for me. First cast, a hawk swoops down and snatches it, I drag him in and before I could take a pic he let go and all I have now is his feather. Bait is intact but missing some paint :mad:
Pissed off I just start tossing the bait every which direction and eventually pulled in this after about an hour. Smile ear to ear the rest of the day:D:D
Wasn't supposed to fish today so ssshhhhhh

I always wonder how many of the larger rainbow lures and plastics and have been victim to flying predators, seems like it'd be a regular occurrence. Great catch though, both the bird and the bass!

That's a beaut right there. I was at mile square Park throwing an 8" Tylure trout and in one cast I had 2 cormorants and a pelican dive on it.

Nice bucketmouth! :cheers1: The baits these days are so damn life-like. A week or so ago on "Stoked on Fishing", they were skiff fishing Cedros. One of the guys (I think it was the Capt') thew out a hookless MC Swimbait and got a Raptor to swoop and grab it. Too cool!

Wow that was weird, I replied to buddha like 5 seconds ago on this thread and it put my post on a completly different thread. Weird.
Anyways sorry buddha that's a south county secret.
And to OEX Sunset Beach, I think you are right about it being an osprey.

If it's a secret you shouldn't post my friend/coworkers apartment balcony in your pics. :the_finger:

There aren't many lakes with houses or apartments on them. Then you go and narrow it to south county. It's safe with me.

I have been living in south county for over 20 years. Not many lakes with houses for sure pretty easy secret if you ask me.

Its definitely not a secret place but I don't like to put it up cause I'm trying to build something here and don't want it to be fished dry. I already lost the catfish pop that I put in there and I don't want the bass gone too

You said you were stocking the lake...? where you getting the fish to stock with? Are you transplanting from another lake or getting them from a fishery?

I wonder how many people are tossing their aquarium fish in there, could be where those giant gold fish are coming from.

One of my buddies has a private pond and allows me to take one bass a month to stock this one
