Here is a pic from the 80's when I lived in Calif. 38" long .this was monster for west coast standards.

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?

[DarkSkies]

Madcaster nice pic. I have to agree with Surferman though, you looked like a long hair hippie freak back then.
Wondered if you were burning the trees, while fishing for bass?

Thanks for posting up, great picture.....

[cowherder]

Funny stuff, Hey MC do you still have long hair like in the photo?

[madcaster]

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

[baitstealer]

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?

monty :How did the Boone trolling lure swim ? did it swim in a zig zag ?

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?

[madcaster]

sorry that's not me...ever tho I did have hair that long back in the day

[cowherder]

Haha the secret life of madcaster coming soon to a theater near you! Nice fish too.

[madcaster]

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

[DarkSkies]

Sent in by Rip-Plugger, thanks!

I think they went on a trip to the Block Island area, in 1990...left out of Snug Harbor, Ri......

Madcaster, great pics, were you fishing the Delta Area?
Or the piers that ring the bay?

I was only there once....
That's a beautiful area, some of the deepest water, and has some unusual fish.

Nice memories, cool.
