I think what makes this such an appeal, is that not only are they the biggest fish in the state, the fishing couldn't be much simpler.

I agree Darren. Not many places you'll see an old 14' Lund with a 15hp anchored next to a Ranger 621 w/ a 225hp and the Lund has every chance to outfish the Ranger. grin

I like seeing those pictures and reports, keep them coming.

After getting up at 2:30 AM and making the drive up there, sleep deprivation starts right of the bat. Then getting up at 5:30AM, fish all day is all this guy can handle without getting some sleep.

Next year I think I'll schedule a nap at noon and try that night fishing. smile

As hanson said, we caught all our nice fish in the bay. 18' treated us well, but our largest came in 22'

Best fishing was from sundown till you couldn't stand it any longer (but again our largest fish of the trip (64.5) came in the daytime).

Grandpa Dewayne Highlights

Caught his biggest fish of his life and the biggest fish of the trip between all our boats.

64.5" x 25" (that ruler below the fish is 72") ~ 68lbs

Fighting the monster (love the squint on his face). It took 47 minutes to land this fish.

Steve Highlights (my Dad)

Caught his biggest fish of his life.

Big story for Dad.... He fought a fish for 1hr 20min and lost it. Absolutely heartbreaking. The fish surfaced once, but we could only see it's head. By the fight alone, guess it over 70" (100lbs)

47"

No problemo Chuck! And enjoy! Lot's of river for me to hide out on when necessary. Anchor rope snaggers eh?? I'm doing pretty good on those this season, last week in one short afternoon trip I got 1 fat female right away followed a 1/2 an hour later by an old grey faced male. Then to finish the evening I got a double which were a father/son it turned out!

2 circle hooks and 2 baitholder types added to collection!!

Keep your eyes peeled I'll be in that same 20 Alaskan as a coupla years back or maybe a small red kickboat.
