On this trip in December 2009, Bob got his first Thompson Steelie. Kirby lost two, Bob lost another one and one other Steelhead was landed.

Ok 2010 was not very successful but if we go back to 2008…

Scooter caught one wild steelhead, Kirby caught a couple of dollies and Higo landed a chrome chum in December, one whitefish, several dollies and lost three steelies.

Note: Harrington absent and no one is wearing a huge blue tarp for a poncho!

Steelhead trip on the Skagit River Washington. No steelhead were caught. Only five big dollies. Some argued it was the poor weather that caused the poor fishing, others said it was the bait we were using but most agree Harrington’s big blue poncho probably scared all the fish away.

By the way…who goes winter steelheading without a waterproof jacket!…Harington!

Gordo with yet another monster rainbow caught somewhere in BC at another secret lake. We are starting to think Gordo is just catching the same fish that he has been growing in his backyard pond!

Scooter with a ripe rainbow caught chironomid fishing on Roche Lake.

Note: this fish was not counted in the derby. Witness report that the trout was bought at Safeway  and just hidden in Matsumura’s toque.

First Mahi Mahi caught with some friends in Maui. Had many other bites but lost them. This one was caught in the summer of 2009.

This was my second fish caught in Maui. This is a baby Ulua called a Papio. My first fish caught in Maui was a giant puffer fish that was caught using shrimp. Sorry no pics to prove.

Fishing Maui Style.
