This took a lot of time and sweat to put together, so I hope you enjoy! The gathering of the old clips, converting them to a usable format, and then putting them into the movie in fragments. Really fun but time does loose itself while you’re at it. Amazing that ten minutes is all I have to show for it! Truth be told, my original effort was TOO LONG for youtube to host….so this is the revised version.
One of the highlights is never before seen footage of H2O fighting and landing a steelhead that pushed twenty pounds. A true beast of a fish. Another might be the opening slide of Sal with his bank-caught 95 incher. That’s an eight foot bank-caught fish! Or maybe you are into some Columbia River action…….I’ve got it all on there. From regular contributors to rarely seen (Big Jim), they’re all on here.
If you have ten minutes sometime, sit back and play this movie. I think it’ll pump you up. You’ll see rare appearances as well as a soundtrack if you’d like. If not, easy enough to mute right there on the movie clip. Either way, enjoy this five year celebration of Team Salmon & Allaroundangler.com. Officially five years. Unofficially, more like 25 plus. Go ahead, kick your feet up and watch some big fish get caught. Some of the clips you have seen, maybe even all. Most of you won’t have, though…..or seen them arranged in this way. This project has kept me sane this last week. Uh oh. What now? Cheers!
BE ADVISED: THIS MOVIE IS 10 MINUTES IN LENGTH AND IS ACCOMPANIED WITH A SOUNDTRACK
TEAM SALMON & ALLAROUNDANGLER SAY ‘THANKS A TON FOR WATCHING’!
What’s up fellas? Just wanted to chime in from down south and give you guys a warm water report. Well the water is not as warm as I’d like it to be, but it will be soon.
I took a trip with the family out to my favorite reservoir, Sand Hollow for some largemouth bass fishing. This is only about 20 minutes from my house and is one of, if not the best bass fishery in the state of Utah.
Last week the water was warming fast with the hot weather and the fish were in a full prespawn mode fattening up for the love fest. Then the weather took a turn and the water temps went from 55-56 back down to the low 50’s, which screwed things up a little for our day at the lake.
This was the first trip of 2009 for my old Seaswirl and she ran like a champ like always. We were taking my wife’s brother, who lives in NY, out for the day like we always do when he comes to town.
We got on the water around 10am and fished hard until about 4pm. The lake was pretty crowded with bass fishermen and the bite was slow the whole day. I decided to go to my deep spot first since the water was 52 at launch. Found the hump sitting in 25ft now that the lake’s water level has been rising over the last 2 weeks, threw out a marker bouy, and hooked up my brother-in-law and wife with some sure-fire drop shot rigs and oxblood robo worms. Both got fish on the first cast. My bro-in-law nails a nice 3 lber and the wife nails a soild 2lber. Great way to start. I always like to experiment with new baits and techniques when fun fishing, so I’m struggling at the start. My wife catches a couple more in the first hour and the shit talking begins. The bite dies off and we make a move to the shallow hump now sitting about 15 ft underwater. At this point I have no bites and the wife is kicking our ass. Her bro hooks up again and then the bite dies again. We continue this pattern of catching a couple and moving and catching a couple and moving for pretty much the whole day. About 2 hours in is when I finally get a bite and start catching fish.
To make this long story shorter, we did ok, catching about 12-14 fish with the biggest being my brother-in-laws 3lber. I did finish strong with a nice 2lb 12oz fatty, that I though was gonna beat his when I was reeling it in, but it came up a bit short. I did catch her on one of my home poured senkos, which made me pretty happy. It was just great to be out on the boat again and catching bass. Soon the spawn will be in full swing and I hope to top my near 5lber that I caught last year…we’ll see. Peace out brothas!!!…….
