So, apparently I never knew what "bass fishing" really was until this trip.

This is while still waiting on "Mr. take my sweet ass time Rider" to show up with his yak.

The crew was amazingly efficient.

I hooked up into something big that pulled me around for a short while before unbuttoning. Im thinking white sea bass? But then got bored and went to the inside after yo-yoing for a calico.

Tried nuclear chicken jerk shad for a few bites. Then switched to camo and... game on! Every cast in every direction would come up with a bass. Broke off 20 # twice, so had to tie on a 30 # topshot.

Holy calicos batman!

That was mostly the fish before lunch, stopped taking pictures because... well, I was busy catching fish!

lunch time:

fishing grounds:

guys working the kelp:

dinner:

end of the day: biggest fish was 36 # halibut

No yellows showed up to play, but it was a blast! great seeing everyone and meeting new people. The Islander runs this trip so well, very cool.
