WHAT FUN!
I caught this 5.5 lbs 26" Rainbow trout on 6lb test line at Lake Del Valle in Livermore CA. on 11-7-00. Between my friend (John Doty) and I we caught Catfish, many Smallmouth bass, and 5 Trout KEEPERS... that tallied up to 17.75 lbs. WHAT A GREAT DAY!

Braggin' Rights VII

My son Tyler caught this monster trout at Shadow Cliffs on Oct.29th. It weighed 6 1/2 pounds and measured 24 inches. His uncle told him he never caught one that big but traveled the whole state trying! That was one proud kid and I was one proud dad! Thanks

Tyler's monster trout

Sunday morning Dennis Nagel and I decided to take a trip out to Honker Bay and try for his first Sturgeon. He has hooked a couple in the past, but has lost them unfortunately due to lack of experience or other problems that have plagued him in the past going with other people. I wanted to be sure he got one this time to take home. About 12:30 am on the out going tide I went down below to make some dinner and he set the hook on this 66", 64 pound dinosaur. The drag was a bit tight and when we finally put the monster in the boat an O-7 hook was straightened out. However we are both enjoying a great dinner tonight and alls well that ends well...Hookemup

This Tuna was caught by Mike Reed on 25 lb line on Oct 6th, 2000 fishing with Captain Gerry Brooks on the Doble out of Santa Cruz...David Heckenlaible

Anthony Ramirez of Ceres, California. I am an avid reader of fishsniffer. My home fishery is without a doubt the delta, and your articles on the delta- in particular- have helped me fine tune and sharpen my strategies on the delta as the picture I sent to you proves with my two largest of my limit of bass on the delta. A night to remember!

Attached is a digital picture from the weekend of Sept. 9th, 2000 and is a picture of Ed Wellington, Jim Kennedy and Mike Greeson from Yountville holding some real NICE Salmon ranging from 20lbs to 30lbs. We caught these at Duxbury Reef and had limited in just 3 hours. The water was flat, the weather was nice and the fishing was GREAT... what more could we ask for! Thanks, Ed Wellington	Here's a 15lb King Salmon I caught on the lower Klamath River (Blakes Riffle to be exact) using a silver mepps spinner. I was fishing in early October with my good friend Tommy Chew, owner of Little Ray's Tackle Box in Klamath. This year was one of the best in recent memory for salmon on the Klamath. October was especially hot with fresh runs of kings and silvers coming up the river every few days. Can't wait to go back next year. I recommend staying at the Redwood Rest Resort, one of the prettiest camp sites around. Kenny Priest	Hi My name is Dave Johnson. I caught this 30 pound striper down in franks track, drifting a mud sucker. My wife had her salmon picture posted once on your website, I need to keep up with her. Thank you, Dave Johnson
sacramento river, redding ca, october 99, bill/billy, father son fishing day:) 20 min fight..44# whatta slug.... John Garrison was visiting from Eastern Oregon on his annual trip to Baja when he hooked into this 30 pound bull dorado while fishing on the Gordo Banks. Submitted by Eric of Gordo Bank Pangas	I am sending this picture of a bright Sacramento River Salmon caught just below the confluence of the American river on November 12th. The gentleman pictured is Karey Westerman, a devoted fishing buddy for many years. The day we caught this 28 pounder and two others was one of the more memorable days spent on the water together. We both are long time fishsniffer readers and enjoy the pictures and information shared in your issues. If you can fit this in, it would top off a perfect day for two diehard fishing enthusiasts. Thanks, Dave Scott	This big boy was caught at night near the, you didn't think I would tell you the spot did you. I will say is it was on the delta out of Antooch. My 11 year old son Russell took the picture and also did some time with the 2 hour battle it took to land this nice fish. We also landed two others around 80 pounds that night. I would also like to thank my buddy MR B. Without his help I would never of landed this fish or been able to get a picture. The fish was caught on 30lb test line, I put that line to the limit. Just thought your readers might want to see what can happen when you put in the time and get a little lucky.
We went on a cruise ship to Mexico and had 3 port stops, first at Puerto Vallarta. We had made earlier arrangements with Capt. Kurt Hjort who took us 30-40 miles out of the bay & really worked for our fish. We ended up with 3 Dorado, some small tuna & a 100lb sailfish (lost another that jumped across the line & spit the hook). Great day!! Returned back with all the bragging rights for the day. Great mag. Keep it up!! Roger Lindsey
