But fishing is kind of like gambling..............you eventually get lucky and win.

And sometimes you snag stuff on the bottom that defies explanation

Even when your best fishing buddy likes to wear his hat on top of his head
http://i297.photobucket.com/albums/mm209/huskerrod/DSC02238.jpg (http://s297.photobucket.com/user/huskerrod/media/DSC02238.jpg.html)
has four legs
http://i297.photobucket.com/albums/mm209/huskerrod/DSC01697.jpg (http://s297.photobucket.com/user/huskerrod/media/DSC01697.jpg.html)
or likes to dress like a Power Ranger.

But sometimes you just got to let your tongue hang out
http://i297.photobucket.com/albums/mm209/huskerrod/DSC00239.jpg (http://s297.photobucket.com/user/huskerrod/media/DSC00239.jpg.html)
grab a light saber
http://i297.photobucket.com/albums/mm209/huskerrod/DSC00908.jpg (http://s297.photobucket.com/user/huskerrod/media/DSC00908.jpg.html)
and hook two bass on one cast
http://i297.photobucket.com/albums/mm209/huskerrod/DSC01943-1.jpg (http://s297.photobucket.com/user/huskerrod/media/DSC01943-1.jpg.html)
and celebrate when it all comes together

and maybe grab some other guys catch and shamelessly pose with it
http://i297.photobucket.com/albums/mm209/huskerrod/DSC02635.jpg (http://s297.photobucket.com/user/huskerrod/media/DSC02635.jpg.html)
and hope like heck he doesn't care with this kind of stuff in his pickup bed

Good fishin' out there everyone!!!!!!

[inthroughtheocean]

Cool pics!

[shinbob]

But if only we had these:

How awesome would it be to have a walleye lake in Southern California? They should plant them in Big Bear.

[fishmounter]

Great pics man! You caught a Flathead at LP?! And what a couple of very nice bass. What were their weights? Thanks for sharing these Rod.

[muskyman]

Rod, I like the flathead, nice, where did you get it. I bet those walleye and northerns tasted good. Rod, we have two months to the day almost for the canada trip...... we have an open slot too............ I'm just sayin dude

fishmounter,

The bass with me sitting and hamming for the photo is a little under 8 pounds. THe carp is 20 plus pounds. THe Perris flathead was just a little fella, 2 pounds or so. THe bass Im holding with the Sooners #4 jersey is 25 inches and wasnt weighed......8 plus Im assuming.

That flattie came from Lake Perris of all places and hit an underspin. HE was safely released with strict instructions to revisit my line in a decade or so.

I actually am not a fish eater, but my secret recipe on the walleye was fantastic. I cooked them up at 300 degrees on a board in the oven with peppers, garlic salt, and lemon. I added some secret flavoring once the fish was all baked up. I then dumped the fish in the trash and ate the board..........not bad.

[FishinMishin]

Lol, thanks for the post

[HuskerRod]

Lol, thanks for the post

Thanks fishinmishin...................................hav ing fishing withdrawals as we speak. Havent been out since Sunday and its Tuesday. Im never gonna make it to SAturday.....never.

[Misfitdog]

[Stormcrow]

Dude....you have a Nebraska shirt on in one pic, and an Oklahoma shirt on in another.....I believe that is against the law. LOL

[HuskerRod]

Im just trying to throw people off..........Eatcrow.............if someone tries to tail me at the lake and steal my spots.....lol.

[Stormcrow]

I love some of those pics... the two-fer is an awesome one. Are those Perris carp???? Is that a bass boat?????? it actually looks like a fiberglass hull with an outboard on it!

[HuskerRod]

Hey "Eatcrow",

That boat looked fiberglass and looked to have an inbred...............ahh, I mean a inboard. Its over by the tire reef if anyone wants to take a look.

The last pic of the carp was actually speared up in Minnesota by a local buddy of mine. As for the bass all Perris and the flattie Perris as well.

[HuskerRod]

ok hard to believe anything here ... moving on .....

Misfitdog....................everything in my report/story is flat out lies, but the light saber is real. Darth Vader gave it to me.

[GhettoBasster]

Hang on! Are there spotted walleyes in Perris?
