So I was skunked from the last outing....I had 3 strikes but wasn't able to get any of them to stick. These stripers are literally taking the 3 strike-rule too seriously resulted a SKUNK for me.
Anyway, hooked up with Khanh for another outing.
My mission: Get even with the stripey.
I had full support from Khanh with this mission
"You need to change out your lure for better hook-up ratio" he said.
Me: "It's OK, my lure's still in a good shape"
Khanh "No, REPLACE YOUR LURE" then he proceeded giving me a new KPN skinny Redhead shad - Thanks brotha!
Got to our first spot....
after about 3 minutes.....hook-up!!!!!!!! ahh sweet! There's no way I'm letting this one gets off.
my drag was screaming (reel probably needs to be lubed) at the get-go. I was thinking to myself "this could be my dream...my first double D". The fish started going with the strong current and pulled even harder.
"Oh, it's a PIG from hell" I said. Khanh had the net ready on hands but this sucker won't let up...at this point my arm was burning but I ain't giving up either now he made one last attempt to run upstream...my line went slacked..uh oh, I quickly rev it up and caught up to him and finally in the net. this was by far the best fight i ever had at the duct. since my memory's still fresh, this fish fought twice as hard as my 8lber from last week and surprisingly it's just a little bit bigger from my last fish (8 lbs 5oz on the digi-scale) also my new PB. Not a DD but I am not complaining.

we tried a couple more spots.....nothing.
4th spot....after a few casts..
on the sink....Thunk....! Line went slacked
"Did you snag my line Khanh" I asked
"No, my line's over here" he replied.
man, I should've set the hook. With the disappointed look on my face, i continued cranking and after 2 cranks....thunk....I immediately set the hook...it's on! after a short battle..fish landed
Not a big fish 5+ lbs.

We continued fishing hard but that was it.
None of us brought a camera so I had to take the pics on my phone.
These are some photos we took after getting gas...
PB 8+

Nice going Hai. BTW, I told you to replace your hooks on your last thread. A sharp hook is essential when they are smacking like they were that last trip. Well replacing the whole lure is fine too cause you get new sharp hooks

My post got cut off or I deleted my last sentence somehow. Anyway I said it was nice of Khanh to give you a new lure. Like I said, it's better than replacing hooks cause it's all new. :Big Grin:

Thank you all for the kind words!

Yes, you're absolutely right! In fact if you look at the first pic, the fish was hooked from the outside.

Have you been getting some too? Where's your report? It's good to see AV reports from several sources besides the same 3 or 4 people, me included. Let's see some of your fish porn man.

That dude was from Long Beach or something like that and you said you took the pic and helped him net it or something like that but it was not you or your fish in the picture. Also I recall you saying it was caught on some sort of large swimbait and not a LC like you are posting now. Why the fish stories???

Here's your original thread on it. http://fishingnetwork.net/forum4/showthread.php?28226-Monster-AV-Striper

Looks like my memory wasn't perfect but pretty close. It was a LC and not swimbait but the rest I got right. A guy from Long Beach caught it and you helped him get it up on the side and took his pic.

That is correct but he didnt land it.. He handed it off cause he was hooked up with another toad. That fish was foul hooked and was way smaller. two rod's and only two hands so we teamed up on em. He was real ninja about his name and the bait he was using on his second rod, but it was plain to see it was a chovie.
That 26lb fish was insane.. Ripped drag like I have never seen in fresh water. never seen the guy since.
here is a nother smaller model a week later after a nice snow fall..

So the guy hooks up on two fish at the same time now??? You never mentioned that before. In your original post, you said there were two of them fishing. Since there was two of them and they hook up but hand you, a stranger one of the rods instead of his buddy he was there with. Still sounds like something is wrong. Things just don't seem to add up for me.

Two months later the story changed from your original post on here and you claimed that you caught it on this other forum http://www.getbentsportfishing.com/forum/west-coast-freshwater-shore-reports/23660-giant-california-aqueduct-striper.html

Why all the lies. It's a nice photo of a nice fish that someone else caught. It's not even you in the picture.

Sorry Hai for this crap in your thread but when tpfishnfool posted that picture on here and made it out to be his fish, I remembered some details about it almost 2 years ago and it now has transformed to this.

When it comes to the duct, I remember much the past 25 years. My worst memory is not ever catching a fish at one certain spot. It bugs the heck out of me because I know there are fish there and people catch them there too but it has eluded me for 25 years. I don't know what it is with me and that spot. I bet when I do hook up there finally it will be a monster and I will nail his arse.
