Hit the duct with Cutbait, we were out to lay some steel (no pun intended !-ha ha ha).
We were seeking blood.
AND………………..
Bloooood is what we got !
We were on a quest…..a quest to screw up Mr stripey’s night.
Needless to say, we were not invited to their party that night.
Mike and I decided to crash the festivities.
After all, we had a special gift for each and every one of them……..
A steel treat…..
Driven right through the meat.
And flesh and bone of their jaw
Make ‘em BLEED !
…….That’s OUR Law !
With speed second to none
We drive those hooks deep and true till we’re done
Will the waters run red ?
NO we release them instead
And the slayin’s R’ good
When we’re in stripey’s hood !
When we’re done…
The fish know us well
Why ? you might ask
Cause we’ve given them hell !
Ohhhhhhhhh Yeahhhhh!
We arrived, we nervously awaited the 1st cast !
Conditions were good….I smelt blood in the air !
OR maybe Mike had Mexican for dinner, either way…something was in the air !
I made my 1st cast and I believe I got short struck but I was a little doubtfull !
Mike, on the other hand was more sure of his status and I looked over to see him land his 1st fish on about the 3rd cast !
Zzzzzzzzzzzz!
Strong sucka….fighting in the current !
Saweet !

I was workin away with no more strikes, Mike was nice enough to be the gentleman and coherse me into slinging into his zone.
I reluctantly agreed as I didn’t want to catch his potential fish….
(By the way Mike, I’ll have that 20 dollars for that spot for you on Friday !)
After about 3-5 casts, Mike and I were talking, he was looking right at me, he said my eyes bulged like Arnold Swartzenegger in the movie Total Recal as I drove the steel !
Hookup !
“Why is his bigger than mine !” (I know I’m gonna hear something bout that comment !)
http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn284/garywuebben/BAKOwcutbait10-6-09_gary-5.jpg
Another round of casts followed by more and more….
Another short strike on my KPN Pearl Skinny shad but no hookup !
2 more casts and Mike looking right at me…..as he tries to tell me something..
Uoooohpfffff ! hookup !
It sticks…
Another fine feesh !
http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn284/garywuebben/BAKOwcutbait10-6-09_gary-3.jpg
It slowed down so off to the next lair….we heard there may be a striper block party some miles away….and MAN….”WE LOVE TA PARTY !”
Next spot….we hear this “POP” OK….you sucka’s gave us a clue not only that the party is here but you gave us your # too !
About 7 casts into it !
Hookup !......I get hammered …..AND…
It hits the deck !
Ohhhhh Yeah !
http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn284/garywuebben/BAKOwcutbait10-6-09_gary-1.jpg
I was secretly thinking …Oh boy….Mike’s got some catchin’ up ta do.
Little did I know what he had in store !
Next zone…..Mike gets DRILLED (again….no pun)
Hookup…..but it shakes off !
Next cast……Whoosh ! he gets hammered again ! no hookup
Wuhp Wuhm Wump Waaaaaa!
Shoot….thats some sick schtuff !
Next cast……
BENDO !....Bendo Deluxe !
Whooosh…..Ohhh Yeah !
Mike's on ! and he makes it stick this time !
Hard current drag peelin’ runs were the word for the night…
To the deck….Yeah Buddy !
http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn284/garywuebben/BAKOwcutbait10-6-09_Mike-7.jpg
As he tries to free his hook from the net….I slang the KPN again…..
hookup !...........right at my feet……he shakes off !.....Dayam !
2 more casts…..deeper zone !
Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz! I laid the KPN steel foundation good and solid this time..
DRAG PEELA’ in the swift current he went…
Man…this is what we live for !
To the net..
Yeaup !
http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn284/garywuebben/BAKOwcutbait10-6-09_gary-2.jpg
Mike tears the boney flesh out of the stripers mouth with my new owner trebles that I gave him…….
ANOTHER Hookup !
If the fish could speak, I’m sure he’d say “this isn’t funny anymore guys….come ON …lay off !”
http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn284/garywuebben/BAKOwcutbait10-6-09_Mike-3.jpg
Mike tries a little different zone…
after about 5 minutes…
It’s Ooooooooooon !
Another fine feesh !
http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn284/garywuebben/BAKOwcutbait10-6-09_Mike-1.jpg
Damn…we were on a roll and tied up at this point (nice comeback Mike !)
Downstream we go to a different zone…
Mike wasn’t settlin for no tie at this point…
1st cast downstream !
Hookup and a huge bendo !
Nice long fight and a worthy adversary but Mike bested it in the end !
http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn284/garywuebben/BAKOwcutbait10-6-09_Mike-4.jpg
Uhhh Oh…..NOW…it’s MY turn to play catchup ! uh ohhhhh
Off to the next spot we go….we drive for a bit and anxiously await the next cast…
I get short bit on the 3rd cast…..Mike gets hooked up on about the same…
He battles it a bit but it comes unbuttoned !
Another 5 -8 casts…..
HOOKUP !
My turn this time and this will prove to be my final fish of the night…
Another nice Bako duct fishhee !
http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn284/garywuebben/BAKOwcutbait10-6-09_gary-4.jpg
Mike’s not havin any of that catchin up schtuff..
He promptly hooked up within minutes to pull himself in the lead again !
(Sorry Mike, I was a little slow that night, I was fishing left handed and I am really right handed – heh he heh !)
The waters flowed red….and not a single fish dead !
To the deck….Mike lands it !
http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn284/garywuebben/BAKOwcutbait10-6-09_Mike-5.jpg
NOW, it’s getting late and I am determined to scratch 1 more out…I tell Mike I believe there is one there and I’m gonna catch it…
MIKE YOUR GONNA PAYYYYYYYY!
Mike steps right next to me…3’ away and says:
“I’ll catch ‘em for you !”
He casts…..works it 1-2’….
SLAM !
He’s on !.....Ohhhhhhh I’m gonna have to give payback…(just kidding guys !)
Man what a great job brotha, the only thing that could have made that scenario any better is if I would have said it to you and “I” caught the feesh !
Nice jailbird…..nice slayage !
http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn284/garywuebben/BAKOwcutbait10-6-09_Mike-6.jpg
So we ended the night with an epic bite under our belt….so much fun I think we were whistlin’ Dixie all the way home !
All fish were released for us to catch again next time (when I will flip those catch #’s on you Mike !) – ha ha ha ha
Great times !
Salute,
Gary
