well 2004 was good for me, 2005 i had good numbers but no bigguns, 06 i want a dbl digit striper, i had 1 on last year that was close to 20lbs but lost it at the boat, also i would like a trout over #5 , i have 1 4lb'er and the rest smaller, 2004 gave me my 1 and only 10lb+ bass and a 12lb king salmon off the newport jetty wich is fairly rare. so a d.d. striper, and a 5lb trout, not too hard is it ? lol good luck all in your quests
