30 lb RANCHO PARK BEAST

[carpinator]

ITS BEEN AWHILE SINCE I INVADED THE LOCAL MUD HOLE. LAST TIME I WAS HERE IT WAS THREE MONTHS AGO AND THE WATER PUMPS HAD BROKEN. NO PUMPS MEANT NO OXYGEN, AND NO OXYGEN MEANT NO SUSTAINABLE LIFE. THE WATER LEVEL DROPPED TWO FEET AND ABOUT 100-200 CATFISH AND BASS WERE FLOATING BELLY UP, IT WAS TOTAL CARNAGE.WELL IT TOOK THREE MONTHS FOR THE CITY TO FIX THE PUMPS, EVEN SO THE PUMPS WERE ONLY RUNNING AT HALF POWER. I DECIDED TO RETURN TO THE SCENE OF THE CRIME TO SEE WHAT WAS UP, I'M GLAD TO SAY THEY RESTOCKED CATFISH AND KIDS AND PARENTS WERE BRINGING IN FISH ONCE AGAIN. A PARK CONCERT WAS GOING DOWN, AND A POLICE COVER BAND WAS JAMMING ABOUT 20 FEET AWAY FROM ME WHILE I WAS STOCKING THIS BEAST, HE MADE HEAVY BUBBLE TRAILS TO GIVE AWAY HIS LOCATION, 6LB TEST, AN ULTRA LIGHT EAGLE CLAW ROD, AND A TWENTY MINUTE BATTLE DEFEATED THE BEAST. I HAD A CROWD OF ABOUT SIXTY PEOPLE STANDING AROUND ME, IT TOUGH TRYING TO GUIDE HER IN WITH NO ELBOW ROOM.

They rocked!!!!!, I never slayed fish while listening to live jams, they were playing DE DO DO DO DE DA DA DA from ZENYATTA MONDATTA while my rod was bending. GOOD TIMES!!!!!

Amazing what those fish can survive isn't it? I was there a few weeks ago and the stynch from the fish die off was crazy! Nothing but dead fish everywhere! I'll give you a hint as to its location ............Rodney King was made famous during his trial here and the last L.A. riots were sparked off as a result. :Secret:

That is a damn big fish...

Can you explain this "bubble trail" phenomenon? I thought I saw some of these things the last time I went bassing, but could figure out what they were being caused by.
