Received the text the night before from S.W.A.T Brotha illest and that he wants to hook up in the morn ... :Big Grin: Oh yeah! :Thumbs Up: It's on!!
I arrived at 0530 and was met with a huge smile from my S.W.A.T. Brotha Don aka: bachiboy; who had arrived there before me, .... what a great day :Big Grin: this turning out to be! Then Don tells me that still another S.W.A.T. Brotha Ken aka: skunked4life will be showing up shortly!
I am beside myself now ........... to be shoulder to shoulder and going into battle with my Brotha's in the enemies trenches on "Veteran's Day" ..... WOW!!!
I can't begin to express my feelings boyz...........
So we all split up and head in different directions except Frank and I team up to see if we could end his slow streak!
At 0656 Frank goes deep ... I mean deep into the kelp, going beyond his confidence level in kelp and pulls out this much desired and well deserved skunk buster! WTG Frank! YAHOO!!

We were shooting for a group photo but Don had already headed off to rip some lips of some Cali's from the rocks!
The Mo Brotha's! "SP Dan aka: Extreme-mo, skunked4life aka: Maxi-mo and illest aka: Mighty-mo!"

So to start my day off at 0750, Poseidon decides to give me the bird ...... :LOL: figuratively! Only line wrapped not hooked.

At 0857 I am blessed with this 15" Cali and my skunk buster.
http://i1237.photobucket.com/albums/ff467/dancorery/P1000140.jpg (http://s1237.photobucket.com/user/dancorery/media/P1000140.jpg.html)
So Frank and I are talking away and repetitiously fan casting in all directions when my rod tip got slammed bown in the water and the line began to get stripped off my reel! It ended up being this healthy 20 1/2" Cali and PB.
I told Frank that it "Hit like a Cali and fought like a Hali!" :LOL: Ha ha ha!
http://i1237.photobucket.com/albums/ff467/dancorery/P1000144.jpg (http://s1237.photobucket.com/user/dancorery/media/P1000144.jpg.html)
Man and fish!

So Don finally works his way back over to where we are; after landing (4) four Cali's, and informs us that his hall pass has ended and that he has to take off .... something to do with his children and Disneyland today! So Don stops to cast one more time for the photo and nails :Envious: a 12" Hali! The first one that I've seen all day! WTG Don! You lucky dog!
Just for the record Don ..... if you ever ask me to hold your stix Brotha .... it's absolutely out of the question!! :LOL: Ha ha ha!!
http://i1237.photobucket.com/albums/ff467/dancorery/e23c6a9b-95ef-451c-8b2f-f0b5bdfb7d24.jpg (http://s1237.photobucket.com/user/dancorery/media/e23c6a9b-95ef-451c-8b2f-f0b5bdfb7d24.jpg.html)
So Frank and I decide to power fish the the rest of the beach and you already know how this story goes ..... Frank has a need to water the plants and so he gave me his permission to catch the next fish ... Ha ha ha ... he was saying it like I couldn't do it again! Well before he could finish his business again .... :LOL: I lip pierced this lil' 16" Cali at 1019.

I'm hiking back to my S.W.A.T. Assault Vehicle and I captured this parting shot of Frank still luvin' it!
Thank you Brotha's Frank, Ken and Don for sharing this beautiful day with a Marine Vet! OORAH!

Note: The hooks were removed from the fish prior to taking measurements and before photos were taken, followed by their expedited releases.
Thanx for checking out another of my fish reports! And so this report ends this three day weekend's Trilogy.
