Your Most Favored Fishing Trip

[taggermike]

Man, where to start? Bass fish with my dad in lake mead as a kid, kayak trips to baja catching grouper, wide open albacore. Some times the location and company makes the trip, other times it's one big memorable fish. I pulled a 30lb YT out of Piramid Cove on the surface iron. It will be forever in my mind like a video, saw the boils, grabbed the long rod and ran to the bow, made a good cast, and in that clear Clemente water watched that big YT charge the jig and just leave a bomb crater in the water behind the hit. Maybe I should stick with one story but I want to throw this in. One of the things I like most about ocean fishing is that there is always a chance of catching the unexpected. I worked at the WSB hatchery in Carlsbad and was eating my lunch out on the lagoon behind the hatchery. Threw out a live smelt and sat down to enjoy my PB&J. 10lb line, curado 100, a tiny circle hook, and some serious patience. 37lb. Glad I had a gaff. Mike
