Big Mouth catches Big Mouth!

Well, we seem to have found out the hard way that a 14’ Aluminum boat with a 15hs motor isn’t quiet enough for most spots on the Columbia, so Nick an I have been fishing for Large Mouth Bass in the lakes around here. We have had some luck, well Nick has, I hooked one, and it came up to the surface long enough to flip me the fin and hed back to safety! Nick caught a really nice big Mouth Bass in Cullaby Lake. It was a nice male, about 4.5 pounds. I was very happy and proud or him. He fought it in with a light, Lamaglass rod and tiny reel with only 8lb test! It was the biggest fish he has ever caught; accept a steelhead on big gear!

Anyway, the boat works flawlessly and has even gained the admiration of my wife heather. Nick and I took her to a couple of lakes and spun her around till we were cutting through our own potato patch and getting sprayed!

I think our next place to try will be the Nehalem River, near the bay in Wheeler. I need to upgrade my crab rings, but it should be allot of fun. I am thinking we could take a big lunch and chase after those crabs!

Anyway, keep an eye on the Daily Astorian (Fish Wrap-Liberal Butt wipe of a local paper) and see if you recognize my name in the obit’s! Three die in terrible drowning! Cause, Beer and a missing boat drain plug!
