Ha ha madcaster you look like Keanu Reeves. Party on dude! Nice striped bass. By the way how big to they get in California and what did you catch that one on?
Madcaster nice pic. I have to agree with Surferman though, you looked like a long hair hippie freak back then. :laugh:
Wondered if you were burning the trees,:plastered: while fishing for bass? :hippie:
Thanks for posting up, great picture.....
Funny stuff, Hey MC do you still have long hair like in the photo?
I caught this on squid .....we used squid for everything. When I came here I used squid for my first bait fishing trip ....caught skates LOL
I don't have long hair anymore ....we hugged the tree's:bong2:
Very cool striper pic, Mad. Did you use whole squid or just strips out there? Also did you catch those colorful rockfish like the orange and red ones?
Hi Madcaster,,the boone trolling lure swims just like a giant rattletrap,it is about 4 oz and casts a mile like a bullet.
I had great success fishing with that one.back then huge gators were the only game around and they would actually stop you from cranking your reel and yank your rod down.

Dude slinging the red guitar?
Waddya say Madcaster?
Having met Madcaster, I say the resemblance is very slight...but who knows....
Is it possible that was his secret life before he came to NJ?
I don't know Madcaster,,,,is it? :laugh: :cool: :HappyWave:

Here's some more bass I caught in the SF bay back in the day ...this must have been in the early 90's
I kept these two to give to a friend ......always released them

there were not many larger fish around this year,lots of fish from 8-20 pounds but that was about it.

^^ Who's that holding the gator, Roddy? :cool: :HappyWave:
I detected a feminine shape to those legs, Roddy....:)
You're a lucky guy to have a woman who fishes by your side....
I'm lucky with Pebbles as well...
and sometimes she outfishes me...it's all good....how many men have wives or girlfriends who hate fishing?...so I consider myself lucky...and I would say you are too....:cool:
Give her my regards....:HappyWave:
yes we are lucky m8,I made a bag for my wife and filled it with small swimmers,rubber and gave it to her,she smiled wide,,,,,some women would go upside their mans head if they gave them such a thing.
