Took today off, and was going to hit up the eastern Bay Area. Opted to stay closer to home. Got out on the water a little after 3 this afternoon.
Once out on the water I peddled to my first spot and made a cast. Almost instant hook up. I thought this is going to be an awesome day.

First fish came in at 25"-26" fat and healthy.
As I drifted down stream, I decided to throw the same lure out and troll back to the first place. Wasn't dragging it very long when my TFO/Battle rig bent so bad I thought it was going to break. After a lengthy fight, I boated this big mama.

Came in at 29 3/4"! New personal best.
Had a brief hook up that was just as big as the second fish. It pulled extremely harder than the 29"er. I couldn't even get it's head turned once. Then it came off. Once I had the lure in to inspect, there was a hook on the rear treble that was bent out pretty good. Time to upgrade the hooks.
About 15 minutes later, I hooked into my last fish. Boring.

After this fish, I kept getting small hits but never any hook ups. Was only out for an hour, but it was a blast.
