Well...it finally happened for me....a new personal best!!
Now...as Bass Anglers you all might think  am going to show you a real toad of a Smallmouth or maybe a Bucketmouthed Largie!!!
Well



Keep going.....





Farther.......





Almost there....





Here ya go!!! Grin





Yes that HAWG is a Sculpin....but wait...look at the size of it will ya!!! it weighs almost 2/3rds of a pound!!! normally we see them around 4-6 ounces....
And better yet....Jose catches the same fish AGAIN!!!



Only this time it is mouth hooked!! it had the hook mark on its tail where just 1 hour earlier we had released it...both times it was caught on a Castmaster Jig!!!

Now we all know why our beloved Smallies are so fat in lake Washington....

BIG SCULPIN!!!

Well Lake Wa for me lately has been a humbling experience. Yesterday I pilled five nice trout of an area in Kirkland pulling rev rigs-actually it was a carolina rigged pointer since I don't own one 3 way swivel. Then after my first 3 trout it happened: I was bouncing rocks and my pointer just stops dead. I reeled up my line to free it from what I thought was a rock. all of a sudden my drag starts peeilng and the fight was on. 25-30 seconds later the fish comes off.

Oh well my big smallie fools me again. Next time i guess.

It was such a beautiful day yesterday.

It is scary that Larry is catching trophy sculpin... Grin... even more scary is that there has to be a small mouth bass that will eat that big sculpin...  Cry Cry Cry Cool

T-dot,
  I know what your thinking, and no throwing a swimbait based upon a sculpin is not going to work.  LOL  Grin  The sculpin is a bottom hugging critter and throwing a swimbait high up in the water column isn't going to get you much.  Now if you can figure a way to get that swimbait to go just off the bottom you might have something then.

Would seem a Gulp Alive Goby, in Goby magic color, would look pretty close to the sculpins. Smiley

The good ol' Yamamoto 176 color imitates a Lake Washington prickly sculpin perfectly!

I think 176 is not green enough.  All those sculpin are green w/ black splotches.  I would like to see a dropshot color like that.

4-6 ounces be a perfect weight to throw all day.

stop stealing me thoughts - where is my tin foil hat!?

im working on a few ideas, but to be honest, i really need a fish like that, so i can document it.  i might even have to ship it out frozen.  so if any of you catch that on a regular basis, please let me know.  i would gladly come pick it up.

thanks
