My personal pg 2

	Yea' buddies ! :-) My first double digit bass for 2002, and my first from Coyote Res. This 12.6 lb beauty hit a huge dad, with giant claws before it ever made it to the bottom !   I can't wait for another.

	This beautiful bass went 11.6 lbs and topped off my best five fish limit of 40.1 lbs.

	....... but hardly would I have ever believed that I would go back the next day and do even better ! Well OK, my five fish limit was "only" about 38 lbs on this trip, but this awesome 13 lb 3 oz bass (my personal best at that time) made it my best trip for sure :-)   Can't wait to get my 15 plus !

	I caught this 11.2 lb'er at my home Lk. Berryessa, on the Castaic trout lure. I felt like I deserved it after her larger pal slammed my trout lure two days before, but did not hook up......... persistance pays :-)

	......then I got this 14.1 lb hog the very next day at Rancho Seco Res. (my new personal best) on a Castaic baby Bluegill.......

	.......but I wasn't finisied :-) I caught this beautiful 12.6 lb'er about 2 hours after the one above ! Plus I hooked another fish of about 13 lbs also..... but it came unbuttoned :-(   What a day trophy bass day though !

	My smallest bass on the trophy pages, but still a very nice fish at 10.1 lbs. She bit a Castaic baby shad at Lk. Berryessa.

	Another double digit trophy bass from Rancho Seco. This beauty weighed 10.6 lbs and bit a Castaic baby Bluegill.

	Another Rancho Seco Hog !  This big ol' girl weighed 13.4 lbs and is the first bass I have landed at Rancho on the Castaic trout. She bumped it lightly on two consecutive casts, but did not actually take it until I let it sit still, floating at the surface. A couple seconds later, one slurp, and it was gone. She was just determined to get her picture taken :-)

	This Rancho Seco beauty bit a Castaic baby Bluegill and went 11.4 lbs. I would have never guessed she would go over 10 lbs when I sighted her in the water. In fact, had the day not started out so tough, I might have cruised right by her in search of a 10 plus ! Sure glad I stopped and fished for her :-)
