Well, after 16 trips since September 1st, I’ve created enough statistics for myself..to try to look at the “how, what, when, where, why” to find out why certain minor changes….that basically aren’t even a change to most…in order to find those subtle differences that might help a guy catch a fish. Who ever knows if any of the changes every really make a difference. I just feel like today, they might’ve.
Two for Two on my new Lammy Classic Glass. This rod is Ganster for sure. As limp as a horse whip. Strong as one too. Part of a subtle change; yes. A pattern? Probably not. But who knows. Still 2000 Kings a day going over. The fat lady ain’t squeaked yet. What else catches fish? I don’t know, but 16 trips in less than 5 weeks…..that’s a lot of fishing and probably has to have something to do with it. 
I think only DD has put in more time. And, I tell you what …it has flown by…it’s seemed like a week of fishing is all we’ve had. This extension has been so rad.
Then again, all we are ever doing is ‘guessing’. We should call it ‘guessing’ instead of fishing. I will only say that today, I feel like LipRip and I figured something out. Thanks to ToDD, no doubt. Anyway, just a chunk of my cerebral to go with a few pics from today. Tight Lines, Hookers.

CRAZY weather out there today! It was just nuts! We had quite a few challenges because of the initial wind, but it calmed down and the sun eventually came out. The tide was a real short run. Less than four hours. I ran my new Lammy Classic Glass today……and my new 300 foot of real anchor rope. Five boats in our area and no fish caught. Ran lemon joy and everything. Going again tomorrow. Me and Sal with DD.

I like this guy’s consistency. How about you? Taken on his #1, the 1265 he uses must make that thing swing in the current like nothing those fish have seen. Great work. I’ll be down there with Pablo tomorrow using my new spool of 300 foot of rope and new Lammy all glass trolling rod to swing heavy lead out behind the boat and take a lot of the shock and chop off the presentation our stiff nine footers are kicking back. Tight Lines. I think this makes over 20 fish in a month for about 5 of us. Not bad.

That Bear really wanted in the Crapper
And now, for those of you who’ve asked the question….the answer is, “If he get’s locked out!!!” Thanks to our buddy, or one of his friends at the Buskin River in Kodiak for clearing up that age-old mystery.

You’ll see the occasional reference to something that is common knowledge, but that’s it. I want to post a section of text from the “About” page of my Allaroundangler website.

Hey it’s me H3L….and some pics from my Auntie in AK below……You’re looking at a river in Alaska where I caught, not my biggest, but certainly my proudest fish ever. An 18 lb Native Silver. Not only are you looking at the river where I caught it….but that little trail the big boy is coming up is probably four feet from where I stood and landed that Giganchromatic Monster. I doubt I would’ve been standing there hooking 26 Coho today! These sent straight from the river today by Auntie…Cheers! Sorry you got ran off the water!

Had a great day fishing today anchored up next to DD, Hellcat, JT, and Lobey!!! After puttin 4 Kings on ice yesterday with DD it was a little slower and a Coho show today.
It was also great to see my old buddy Gary Plautz show up and put a schooling/clinic on for us whippersnappers!!!! It was definately not a surprise to see him bust loose from anchor 7-8 times….What can I say! WERE NOT WORTHY…..
Highlights for the day were getting Joeciey her first salmon in the boat..She lost a monster 35lber previously so this was very sweet!!!
Also watching Lobey set the hook so sweet on a silver then reel his hoodie ties up in his reel!!! He kept reeling till his reel hit his chin!!!Funny as hell so the pics speak for themselves….Goodtimes Boyz!!!Keep those lines tight……..

Fished my 3rd Southern Utah Bass Anglers (SUBA) tournament of the year and first since March at Sand Hollow Reservoir down here in south-western Utah. Got my 2nd personal 1st place finish. My partner, Rob “The Cheese” Huston, gave me a schooling on buzzbaits. Just freaking wacking big fish with it…ALL DAY! I was happy as a clam catching our little fish and watching the show knowing we were kicking ass.
At this lake the regulations are 6 bass with only one over 12 inches. With these regulations a team can only weigh 2 bass over 12 inches and 3 bass under 12 inches for a total of 5 fish to weigh. So the trick to winning was getting two kicker fish. Our biggest kicker fish was 5 lbs 7 oz after pucking up a nice bass fillet. Rob picked it off in a mudline right on the bank with the buzzer. Awesome.
Anyway, we took the 2nd Big Fish award and 1st place with 10 lbs 14 oz. Only 1 oz or fillet away from the 1st Big Fish award. I did catch our 3 dinks and loads of tweeners. Fun day, but hot as hell. Learned and witnessed an amazing day for my partner tossing the buzzbait.
Check the link out to our site…Peace!

LR and I headed out for a little late summer run action on the CR today and got this guy here (photo was taken AFTER I gave him teh Columbian necktie). We thought it was a hen until I opened it up and there were no eggs. Rounded head on a buck we’d ever seen! Anyway, this was a HOT chrome fish and gave me several hard runs around, under and WELL past the boat. What a blast to fight! I thnk I understand how Lobey felt now. After the final run LR did his usual phenominal net job to give my aching arm some peace. Good day for 4 hours of hooky fishing!
