Myself and two of my buddies went to Lake Powell, Utah for five wonderful days. It was my first time there and I was stunned by not only the size of the place but it was absolutely beautiful. Largies were up on beds, smallies were on beds, I caught my first striped bass, saw Indian ruins and cliff writings. I even got a heavy hooked terminator jig in the back of the arm for a bonus, my buddy got it out of the brush he was stuck in and I was glad my back was turned...I heard it before I felt it but it popped out with pliers pretty easily and only a couple minutes of 'ouch, that hurts'. It was one of the best trips fishing trips I've ever had.
It wasn't much of a soft plastic bite so I didn't break out the Wave gear, I was using Tiki Grubs on my jigs as a trailer and went through a few of them because the tails kept getting torn off by short bites. I got one pic with a 3.5" Tiki Grub on a home made jig.
