PASADENA FLEA MARKET FIND

I bought this pike at the Pasadena flea market today. Thank you.

ONE UPPING ME

I don't know these guys, but my homey Cody Rosenthal does. Makes me rethink my point and shoot tactics. I might be getting an underwater camera?

SEQUOIA 10'

Sequoia keeping you in your place.

Some sort of jay, that was blue.

Be careful.

Blake crossing the stream.

Mike crossing the stream...

Lance vs. Blake.

Mathew jumping the gap.

This little guy didn't want to be photographed.

Neither did Mike's first fish.

Here we have Mike modeling his lunker. Can you see it behind his hands?

Double gainer with a twist.

Mi padre's first fish.

Fighting the current.

The sixties.

Hiking.

Blake trying to live.

Don't even breath around Mike, or he'll try to catch you.

Making our way down to the stream.

Little fish trying to make it's way up stream. All the fish are natural here, they stock it later on in the summer. So they were all relatively humble in size.

I cropped this picture so you couldn't see the smudge on my lens.

Mike with an alligator lizard.

Mathew, Blake, and Malfoy checking it out.

Thanks sun.

Caterpillarsville.

New spot.

Lone ant hoisting this dead stinker up the wall.

Backup.

At this spot we were catching Golden Trout. I lost my jig right away, so I had to catch big ants, flies, and whatever else I could catch for bait.

My Uncle Lance fishing with ladybugs.

Mike caught this huge thing too.

I caught this bad boy on a bumble bee that I straight swatted out of the sky.

What am I sticking my arm that deep in the mud for?

Can you tell what it is?

How about now? My shoe.

After my shoe was done for, I just watched.

Oh, happy days are here.

Bear sighting on our way out.

Drive by Sequoia tree.

Bon Voyage.

YOUTUBE FOR NOW

 

We've been lagging on fishing lately. Real life is getting in the way. But we're heading to Sequoia tomorrow.

JUNE SHOWS ME UP

While in Carlsbad this weekend, I went shore fishing in some bay with Joe Carlino and June Bhongjan, snowboarding's newest power couple.

Sunsetting fishin.

June caught this mini calico bass.

And she had to put the worm on Joe's hook.

By the time she caught this sand bass, I started to feel like she was disrespecting me.

But I still had to be the one to take the fish of the hook for her.

For the record, Joe and I got skunked. Here is Brandon Phillips who showed up later to cross that pipe across the water on a dare from Joe.

This is what I look like getting skunked.

BASS WASSUP

No no no, that's a largemouth bass, not a whale.

IRVINE LAKE: MIKE GETS EGGED

Another Irvine Lake day, this dude might have just brought too many rods.

Beautiful morning.

Bass... Wassup. My first fish of the day.

If this were Red Dead Redemption, I'd blast those fools.

Mike the Book Theif with his first fish, way before his legs got creamed by the sun.

He looks like me with his head shaved, huh?

Kenny was dazzled by the early fishing action.

My Dad gets on the board.

Kenny's leaper.

Sup.

I caught this stick, and by default, this snail.

The sun doing it's best.

Kenny's second bass.

This photo reminds me of rap videos. Might change my whole outlook on bass fishing...

Plleeaasseee.. doonnn'tttt eaaatt meee?

Kenny amorous yet again.

Bass Wassup sucker.

This just might be the Irvine Lake record for snag landed. Congratulations Kenny.

Mike falling for the, "HEY MIKE!" trick.

Yeah Mike! Alright!

Mike thought Kenny was taking a photo with his phone. Haha, what an idiot.

This guy got me out of my rut. Lakers son!

We got a electronic scale. It only used kg, so I don't know how much this one weighed, maybe 2.5 lbs?

Mike's Ode to (Peter Benchetler and/or Sean McCormick)

When this lucky trout found out Mike was letting it go, she jumped for joy!

Then she poked her head out of the water and egged Mike.

After catching the trout, Mike remembered himself and caught this bass.

More rap video.

BW.

My phone doesn't even turn on anymore.
