Been a while.......Fresno County

[vampirebret]

It's been a while since the last time I was out duct fishing but I was rewarded nicely two weeks ago. Did a solo run to a gate in Fresno County and was lucky enough to find the whole gate to myself. Saw a ton of fish swimming everywhere and it was a fish on almost every cast with my LC jerk bait. Just a little bit after sundown, I got a big bite and had a nice little time fighting this beast on my 10 lb test mono line. 10.2 lbs on the scale and 33 inches on the ruler....I was a happy camper. Smaller fish was 19 inches. Released over 20 fish and took two home for dinner. Awesome time!

Nice, that's the biggest I've seen lately. Down here I'm catching 18" fish every freaking time lol.

18's are still better than none. As long as you are not getting the big ole black and white critter LOL

I saw a massive striper follow in a smaller one I had on the line the other day.

I thought about using it as bait but a 19" fish on my 10lb test would have been CRAZY!!!!

Thanks TB. Need a bigger one as I'm still stuck with a PB of 12lbs only and that was from the early 90's. I think I'm definitely due for a bigger one.
