Haha good call :-" 8-[ Whenever were together we dont take many videos cause when one person hooks one, the other always wants to get into one and not take a video! little quite competetion is always the case. But when im alone, i like taking the videos, but like gringo said, theyre always a bit shakey!!

ANYWAYS nailed 6 more fish today. got 2 sick videos and some cool pics again, SUPER tired right now but when i awake from a mid-day nap i shall post the videos and pics. All chromers today, fish moved in, only saw 2 people all day. SLAYIN :cheers: :cheers:

You nail more fish in 1 day then I catch all year.I miss my school days. Darned work. You cant miss work like you can school. Although if I did better at WWSC Id probably have a better job with time off.

The SMJ 13 in the top pic is a solid jig. Beau Mac bead jigs are probably my favorite. SMJ 10 in 8th oz is the best. I had a day last winter where I put 11 steelhead on the bank with that jig in about 3 hours. Gotta love bobber fishing.

I need a teacher in bobber fishing. Ive tried it with no success. Granted I fish the Green mostly. Ive just got problems in the depth. Is it just supposed to float upright or is it supposed to drag along the bottom. I'll accept all help possible.Im very old fashioned in my steelheading I dont use anything but corkie and yarn. I know this thread is for pics . But this is where all y'all look. Thanks.

There are some achievements which are never done in the presence of those who hear of them. Catching salmon is one, and working all night is another.

The wide angle on that lens really makes it look like a whole different river! Crazy how that is. The underwater pics are definitely worth taking the extra time for.

Thanks Mike!

And yea, it does take some time and patience, especially the underwater pics with the gear still in their mouth, but like you said, worth the effort!

Thanks Rac, its always fun to make the video go with the music, but youtube wouldnt let me use the song for a while i had to send them a confirmation that i bought it, lol.

Fished just a few hours today after working a bit, fished trout on my creek. Caught 4 nice cutties, including this biggggg hawg. Check him out!
