[cool][#0000ff]Sorry about the pics. I usually share those along with the rhetoric, but just didn't take the time to dump them from the camera and tweak them for the post.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]TubeBabe's "15 pounder" was taken on 4 pound line and her light rod, while fishing for white bass with a small plastic jig. At first she thought she had a snag (how many big fish stories start like that?). But, after a careful battle...not horsing it in...she was able to grab it by the ROPE. [/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]It turned out to be a lost navy anchor, with all of the nice blue nylon rope. It still had a Sportsmans price sticker on it...$19.88. I'm sure there is a good story behind it. Either some fisherman is kicking himself for not tieing it off before lowering the hook...or is still cussing a wife, kid or fishing buddy for making the same bonehead mistake. [/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]Of course, TubeBabe also insisted that I get a shot of HER fish...five nice little whities...that contributed to a great meal of garlic butter oven broiled fillets, with toasted sesame seed garnish. YUM.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]As I mentioned, I did manage to scratch a couple of nice eatin' size kitties, three bullheads, and a few whites my own self. [/#0000ff][#0000ff]Also kept the small walleye to add to the broiler pan. That is four species...a "Lindon Slam".[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]Hey Randy, sorry you guys didn't do well. From what I observed both Friday and Saturday around Utah Lake, the low water temps have quieted the fish down a bit. Maybe after next week's forecast warming period things will "heat up" again. Really glad we got to meet you and look forward to "hooking up" down on the water again soon.[/#0000ff]
