Steamfitter and WaYoop's big adventure...

I met Steamfitter (Paul) on this board, and figured he couldn't be all bad as we own very similar ChamPs http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/smile.gif We have been trying to get together since last summer and fish, and finally worked it out today. Fished Lake Whatcom, and had a really enjoyable day. Got a decent amount of fish, allthough the size was a little on the smaller size. I think they are just too well fed at this time of year, as the fish we were catching were very fat and hurling all kinds of critters on the way to the boat.

All in all a great day on the lake in the ChamP, with great company.

For the record I have abnormally large hands, and short arms, so I estimated the weight on this fish to be about 7 1/2 pounds - yea right http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/roll.gif http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/roll.gif http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/Laugh.gif

We were talking about trying Lake W today DT, but we are a-scared of the traffic http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/Laugh.gif http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/roll.gif http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/Laugh.gif not on the lake, just getting there http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/eyes.gif

Glad to see you are still out there - what did you finally do about the pusher on your boat?

Would love to meet up on WaWa this summer and get some pointers. I am out of town starting Wednesday for a while, but will catch up and hopefully make plans when I get back.

On a side note, I now prefer to be called the "Sculpin King" http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/roll.gif - I caught a "trophy" 5" one today, and got a couple small ones last week http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/Laugh.gif
