Yo Don - thanks man. This has been a great year on the top end fish for Nico and I, dunno why, things just keep lining up. 3 15's and a 16 this year for me. Every one is just as exciting as the last one! The rush of adrenaline is what it's all about.

This one was pretty lucky. I caught it last week, on calm hot condition. She popped up under my bait like a big grey blob and t-boned my bait. It all came in to view as the fish ate the bait. No fight at all, I just leaned on the fish and Nico scooped it. They get confused I think when the bait is crosswise in their mouth. My first over 10 on the Triple Trout and my first over 10 in So-Cal, pretty damn stoked.
