Had a couple hours free so desided to hit the duct for my usual two times a week gig as time on equals rewards.. Long short worked a mile section pretty good with no takers then met up with two guys from long beach asking how it was and told them there in here but right place, right time. As soon as a said that , one of the guys hooks a freaking PIG. He fought it for a good 10 mins and it was a good thing there was more than one of us cause nobody had a net. Scaled out at 24.8.. Bigest I have seen come out of that area in 20+ years.

thats SICK!!!!! Good job out there man. Thats a nice fattie.

Last year a member from here pulled a monster from the duct. I believe it was 33lbs. Either way it was huge.

Nice going. Looks like the one I lost a couple of weeks ago that I posted about. I saw it and it was that big. I was guessing 20 lbs. + then. Glad to see someone caught it or it's relative. I was by Tierra Subida when I had my pig on. I think Striper Bill lost a biggie too shortly after me?

LOL. Looks fairly close to where you landed that 8+ lber. You been out lately? I need to get my line wet. It's been awhile except for a quick 15 minute stop last Fri.

Yeah, I was out there this morning for an hour or so.
The gates were 1/2 open and I CnR'd two six-7 lb clones

Nice! I need to get out. Probably tomorrow morning for me? All my Traps are torn up and Walmart is out of all their Traps except for a couple of 1/2 oz. Their stock has been low for almost 2 months but now it is just a blank wall where the Traps go.

Scaled out at 24.8.. Bigest I have seen come out of that area in 20+ years.

Outstanding!! Great catch out of the cement river! Looks like he was using a triple trout or some type of hard swimbait in the pic??

He was using a lucky Craft Pointer 110 . Blue and White . 12 lb test and a really short rod, I thought . Looked like 6 1/2 at best . Reel was a shimano but not sure what model. The few casts I saw he did the reel was real smooth. Better than my curado 200. He knew his stuff and told me they go to the taft/bako area often. I went back up to the spot tonight but no love . Looked real good too. Next time. Im hooked .. Big *** fish are on the chew in the duct . Its all about putting the time in . Very rare that a big one comes without time spent. Some lucky , some not.
