Hello to all rip lippers of ifish, I have been fishing for Bass for a long time and love it.. I have been fly fishing for the last 5 years hard and have put Bass fishing on the back burner some. I go to Shasta for 5 days every year and catch a lot of fish. I usually catch bigger fish in the local ponds every year than I do in Shasta every year except this one.

That was quite fish and a crazy way to catch it.
But here is a funny story for everyone: A few years back during Winter Steelhead fishing Chris(PELHAMENT) and I were at the Alsea fly fishing and Chris had a nice hook-up with a rock. Him being a puny little cus I told him to hand me the rod so i could break the 15# line for him. Well I put the rod parallel to the water and pulled and snap, and then i watched as the top two pieces of Chris' rod came off, and with nothing to keep the tips from going in to the river i started to run my Large Frame down the River. As I was attempting to go for the tips my foot caught a rock and in a split second, i thought i can try to catch my balance or go for the rod, and in an attempt to rescue my best buds rod tips i dove into the freezing north fork head first (in Feb.) I made a couple barrel rolls attempting not to break them and managed to get them out of the water unscathed. And I look up to see Chris laughing his A$$ off...
But I am sure that he has some other pretty stupid things that I have done.
