    Tony Glaves of Hailey, Idaho caught this 26 pound salmon yesterday at 15 by 5 or so.  He was fishing with Ed Parsons on the Shut Up and Fish. The boat limited, but this was the big one by far.

    Sorry, I didn't get this gentleman's name, but I know that he caught this 12 pound striper on a Kastmaster near the bar yesterday. The boat landed two stripers and a halibut for the day.
     Scott Holzer of De Soto, Missouri caught this 13 pound striper in the surf while shore casting today. It bit a Yo-Zuri surface lure on Sand Point. You may see him standing on the Point again tomorrow.
    Swampy has had kind of a disappointing year on Tomales Bay. Until the last two days. His boat had six halibut yesterday and five today, with this 27 pound hog to top it all off today (child shown for scale only). 
     What we have here is a 2022 Tomales Slam. To break it down:
Jesse Keilman of South Lake Tahoe: 17 pound salmon
Tony Busalacchi of South Lake Tahoe: 21 pound striper
George Fabio Rios Jr. of Santa Barbara: 22 pound halibut
   There were a couple more stripers and one more salmon in the box. Salmon and halibut ate dead anchovies. Stripers bit on the Redrum tubes. Speaking of those tube jigs...
    
  Gage took Guy Laackman fishing this morning and on the way out they caught this striper. They picked up limits of salmon at 15 by 5 and 15 by 6. They returned to Tomales Bay where, using Redrum tube jigs, they caught 16 more stripers, ultimately keeping their limits. Not a slam, as the Tahoe boys caught, but definitely a numerically superior situation. I thought we'd have a picture for the Gage calendar, but Gage's head was too large to fit in the frame, so no picture. Thanks, Guy, for a photo. 
Actually, it's kind of nice without a Gage photo.

  2. Got the first hand account of the epic day Gage and Guy had, sounded like a blast. Thanks for another great trip, was great to see everyone and meet more of the crew.
