    I need 4 pounds or 22 inches to get a citation! I had another big one on it jumped twice 3 feet out of the water and spit the hook!

    It’s a hybrid Brook/Brown trout. One of the rarest.

    While I was in grad school doing my thesis on black bear behavior, a friend was doing hers on "saltwater" bass in Newport Bay/So. Seems there are three species: Barred sand bass, spotted sand bass and calico bass. They change sex as they mature (one goes male to female, one goes female to male, and she was working on the third one) == after dissection, she had the carcasses, which she froze and we had a beginning of the semester fish fry!

    We had three seminar classes to take for our MS degree. One semester, we would meet at the Mexican restaurant adjacent to campus every week at Happy Hour to discuss the papers we had to read (Seminar classes are taught by the students for your grade). More than once we had to help someone find his way across campus to class! Anyway, I saw my friend sitting at a table with a tattooed, bearded biker dude getting yelled at very loudly about if she didn't shape up, she wasn't getting her degree! I asked someone what was going on and was told that was Dr.________, her graduate committee Chairman! Found out he rode a chopped Harley to classes.

    Thats awesome! Man, the Salt Water Bass Trifecta continues to elude me! Including that day from where the pic is from! I had 8 Spotties and one Calico that day. Other days its been Spotties and Barred Sandies, or Sandies and Calicos. Unreal how I haven't managed to get the f'ing trifecta yet!!! :censored:

    I've caught all three but not in the same day. Ditto with sandies or calicos with one of the sandies. A nine-pound calico off of Horseshoe and a similar sized sandy off of Huntington Flats=also a chimera that day= wasn't expected so shallow!

    I found a NICE trout, not sure what kind. It bit 3 or 4 times and is so smart at what to do I missed it everytime. I’m breaking out the fly-rod at 5am. And try not to die.

    Weather got decent. Took the better half, and the 2 doggos out to a local watering hole. Naw, im sorry we didnt catch anything,....

    BUT,. while chilling with a beer in hand,.. Behind me i heard this SWOOP SWOOP SWOOP.... and before i even got what the hell was going on, this white and brown bird came in low,.... and about 15 feet in front of me, in the water, zoomed down, and snatched a fish, and swiftly came back up, hauling its goods. It was one of the coolest things I've seen with my own eyes. Im still googling what the hell it was......Im thinking Osprey ??? It happened so fast, but sooooo cool,... I just sat there on my log, and blinked for a few seconds lol. Wish i got it on a camera. But, it was freaking awesome.

    ospreys have pretty distinctive head markings and wing pattern. Sort of a "W".

    Tomorrow at O’dark thirty. I will attempt the Va. Trout Slam Challenge Event. Going for three species of trout in one day. Best way is to catch five then switch to the fly-rod for my sixth. Easier said than done.

    I had an osprey come grab a fish that I had hooked on my fly rod. It peeled line off my reel so god damn fast! It took all my backing and spooled me and got the fish but it was awesome to see.

    Super cool. I love fishing,.. love it, but 99.9 percent, is just getting the fuck away from everyone, everything (work, and, and and) and vibing. Getting the opportunity to see nature, be nature, is just big time gravy. And i eat it up.
    Also, it was in fact a Osprey. First time ive every really seen one, that i know of. And,.... it did not let me down, holy shit.
