08-15-08 PURSUIT: FishBandit v. pokerface12

[FishBandit]

After much debate on where to fish a decision was made to board the Pursuit for their full day Catalina Island trip. Last time I've been on this boat was well over a year and I was anxious to see how the day would turn out. Joining me was pokerface12.

Frisky bait = Frisky hands?

On our way to the island a friendly wager was made to get the blood flowing.
TERMS: Biggest calico bass or yellowtail wins bet. (other fish are not eligible)

By midday here is the count (bycatch not reported):
pf12 - 7 calicos **leads in count and weight
FB - 2 calicos

pf12 felt comfortable enough to throw the jig

Had a excellent day on and off the water. Can't ask for anything more than spending the last bit of summer in southern cali waters. Props go to pf12 and the crew for making it happen. Hope you enjoyed the read.

Nice job guys!

Congrats FB on your nice yellowtail, but I don't think your fish should count in our prop bet. Reason being that you didn't use your own fishing gear but jack mine when the yellows were around. Since my rods have been personal bless by the fish gods they process magical powers of attracting fish. I don't think it's fair when your jack my only bait stick I brought for the trip. J/K FB your always welcome to use my gear just giving you a hard time. It was a fun and productive trip lets do again, Pokerface.
