Outstanding job boys, way to fill up that playhouse.

I had an absolute blast on Sunday Arthur. That was the best day of freshwater fishing that I ever had. Got my first ever top water fish and learn how to troll too. Very cool of you to hand off some of your top water fish for me to fight, much appreciated my friend.
Thanks for a memorable day on the water bro and lets do it again soon.

Sokha

[Thebake]

Great report. And thanks for the proof. Your going to have to share that recipe. Look dang good.

[TroutOnly]

[ROB312t]

See!!! I told you they're boiling... CUTBAIT!!!

[Badbeat]

Damn it I should have had the video rolling for some LIVE ACTION shots.
Haven't been in a good topwater Striper bite in a couple of years. Forgot how much fun it was.
Arthur and Sokha, that was great and we'll do it again soon.

Can the Iron Chef post that steamed striped recipe?

Here ya go...

Restaurant-style Asian Steamed Fish Dish.
Ingredients:
1 live fish (about 2.0 lb or less)
2 inches ginger (peeled and cut into thin strips)
1 stalk scallion (cut into 2-inch length, and then cut into thin silken threads)
Some cilantro leaves
2 tablespoons cooking oil
1 tablespoon shaoxing wine or rice wine

Steamed Fish Soy Sauce Mixture:
4 tablespoons light soy sauce
2 tablespoons shaoxing wine or rice wine
2 tablespoons water
1/4 teaspoon sesame oil
3 dashes white pepper powder
2 tablespoons rock sugar (grind into powder form) or to taste.

Method:
Clean the fish properly (remove scales, guts, gills, etc.) and pat dry. Blend the soy sauce mixture in a small bowl and set aside.
Lay the fish on a plate and drizzle 1 tablespoon shaoxing (or rice) wine on top of the fish. Top the fish with 1/2 of the cut ginger strips.
Heat up a wok with enough water for steaming. Wait for the water to boil. As soon as it boils, place your fish inside the wok, propped up with a small inverted bowl or a couple of wooden blocks (meant for steaming). Cover your wok tightly and set your kitchen alarm for 8 minutes.
As soon as the fish is done steaming, transfer it out from the wok. Discard the fish water and ginger strips. Lay the remaining ginger strips on top of the fish.
Heat up a pan over high heat and add 2 tablespoons of cooking oil, swirl around until it’s hot. Pour the hot oil over the steamed fish. Put the pan back onto the stove, add the soy sauce mixture and stir well. As soon as the sauce bubbles up and boils, pour the soy sauce over the fish. Topped with scallions and cilantro leaves and serve the steamed fish immediately with white rice.

Epic outing guys. Looks like you kept pretty dang busy...gotta love that kind of action!

Congrats!
Don


and the clam recipe too!

Thanks Don, the action was fast & furious at times.

Here's the stir fried Clams recipe.

• Lots of clams
  
• 5 cloves of garlic, sliced
• 1 piece of ginger, sliced
• 1 chilli, sliced
• pinch of salt & pepper
• 2 tbs of soy sauce
• 2 tbs of oyster sauce
• 1 teaspoon of chinese black vinegar
• lots of basil
  

• With a little oil, saute ginger, garlic and chilli
• add clams, stir, add soy sauce, oyster sauce and vinegar cover for 3 minutes, stir
• add salt and pepper, keep stirring until most of the clams open,
• add basil, stir, turn off heat
• serve
• PS: it is important not to over cook the clams
  

Cant go wrong with some boiling action!
Great job out there guys.
That steamed striper looks amazing

Fun stuff Frank. been hitting the surf lately bro?

Dang Arturo!!!
I haven't been fishing in ages and you post a report like that!?
Very nice fish count and all pretty good sized also.
Now when are we taking the ( What did you name the boat again? ) boat out for tuna???
Looks like Binh and Sokha were loving it also...
I think a clam trip up North is in order
Take Care,
Robert
<><

back to work

You've been a busy guy lately Roberto. Congrats on the new home bro.
I was thinking about a clamming session too... let's hit up the Fishing Yoda Exfactor for a trip.

Great Job out there Arthur congrats on first striper blood blood on your still new boat, I still really like your boat that thing is nice, I think i need to upgrade to a mako.

Thanks Jonathan, one of these days I'll get myself a kayak and chase those Tankers with you guys.

Looks like another awesome outing on the Mako! I've been trying to convince my buddy to take his boat out to Pyramid for a striper run but he's still fixated on the bass and cuda action...

I'm lovin' that steamed striper with green onions, garlic and ginger!!! Can't wait to see you guys at the Hunting Giants event!

Andrew

Go for it Andrew, chasing the Linesides is a good change of pace.
The steamed Striper dish was amazing! Looking forward to seeing you again at HG4.

Great catch, Arthur.. I haven't thought about Castaic or Pyramid for some time... too busy getting skunked in the salt ... got a freshwater report up in ''out of area'', though...
Don't know where to go and try out this new/used Hobie Outback...Gotta go somewhere tomorrow, though!.. Ideas?? (Look out Big Frank!)
Cheers,
Sid

Saw your Out of State report Sid... awesome! Someday my friend, someday...
Hope all is well and I'll see you at HG4.

Arthur, has anyone ever told you that you are one lucky guy?

Okay, okay, now for the fish report.........

I've got to say I really enjoyed the fact you Binh and Sokha took the Team Trolltoon motto of go where everyone else isn't and make the best of it. The gamble paid off and it looks like you guys had a great time on the assault Vessel once again.

I had to look at the text twice when you gave me the fish report for the day then I had to question my decision to stay home and mow the lawn.

Great job out there guys and keep the fish coming on board!

Lucky? Don't I know it...
I'm glad that we went in the other direction too... "To get nowhere, follow the crowd."
Congrats on winning the Team 57 Catfish Co-op event on Saturday my friend!

More great bendo shots in the morning! man that steamed striper etc looks so dayum good.
Its good to see a report from the mid! That water still looks horrible! But the stripers look
good.And I still don't know what movie you are talking about!! Thanks for reporting!

X-Hitts

Huh? What Movie...??? Put down that crack pipe and step back bro, lol

All I am going to say is,

NICE FISH!

WWO

Still down for some hot oil wrestling Bill? No, not me and you...

WOW......Now that is some nice Killing and Slaying right there bro. The change of pace sure worked out....Love it when that happens. I knew that you and the boys would put a hurting on those jailbirds.
Your report makes me want to put my float tube on that lake again like I used to do ten years ago. MMMMMMMMM

Great report Brotha.....Keepin it simple and classy as usual!

Good chatting with you Sunday night bro, we haven't fished together in like forever.
Imagine, you in a float tube surrounded by a Striper boil... nice!

Nice trip WINGNUT!
Nice lady buy boat and love dog! Real nice lady!

SFE

Thanks Big "E". Hope all is well with you my friend.

Also wanted to ask you a question abought pug w,nut,,,,,,


He,s looking a little diferent lately,,,,,,in a good way i mean,,


In that parting shot
has PUG been WORKING OUT?,,,,


T/B

TB, we have two Pugs... the one you've been seeing on my reports for the past 6-7 years is Wingnut Pug. That's the chubby one. She is getting quite old, just turned twelve.
The one you see in the pic belongs to the Iron Chef, that one is 6 years old.
Trust me, I need a regular work out, more than the Pugs, lol

Dang nice job out there. Havent been to pyramid since 07. And wont be back till i get a boat. I did however catch my pb catfish out of there

Yeah, haven't seen you out in the salt for quite some time too Gary.
That was my first freshwater trip in over a year. I'm thinking about taking a Lake San Antonio trip soon to see what's shakin' up there.
The Mako is a birthday gift from the Iron Chef.

Outstanding job boys, way to fill up that playhouse.
Sokha, I heard that you were using my Sammy topwater, I want my cut of the Stripers bro.
Gotta love fishing the boils. I remember running into a massive boil while fishing with Bob T/O and Arthur at Castaic a couple of years ago, complete hayhem, LOL

Yeah, Sokha was killing them with your chartreuse back Sammy Phuong. He caught so many, some of the barbs on the trebles broke off and most were totally bent.
I remember that boil at Castaic, it was right next to Kong Island. That's was pretty intense!

=) lma0000 !!

Again Armando... The "Mind" is a terrible thing to waste, lol

I had an absolute blast on Sunday Arthur. That was the best day of freshwater fishing that I ever had. Got my first ever top water fish and learn how to troll too. Very cool of you to hand off some of your top water fish for me to fight, much appreciated my friend.

Sokha

Undeniable proof... Recipe posted!

thank you arthur ,there's nothing better than seeing a padawon turn into a striper jedi and wielding the force to slay mr stripey,,thank you for all the fond memories,,,,,,,,,,,,bob,,,,,,,,,,,,

Fond memories indeed... Phuong's Tree, The Playhouse, Buddha Belly, The "Bouy", Poseidon's Punishment, the "Meat Bucket" at Lake San Antonio. Good times Bob, good times. See you at Hunting Giants 4.

See!!! I told you they're boiling... CUTBAIT!!!

I TOLD YOU SO... lol

Damn it I should have had the video rolling for some LIVE ACTION shots.
