we also caught a local species of sucker... local enough that it didnt look like a white sucker or redhorse from PA anyway... any idaho-ers on this forum that can give me the species?
-
we drove straight to oregon, slept, and on day 10 followed the columbia river all the way to snake river in idaho where we finally got some fishing in.
we heard that there were huge carp in there from a local resident, but huge is relative (apparently).
-
we enjoyed the beach for 5 minutes, and drove as fast as we could up the coast to the stupid old golden gate bridge...
America!

we drove all of the next day (8) to the pacific ocean, pretty far north of ricky b, and missed out on his gracious invitation. we didnt arrive until it was dark because we got lost in some hilly wine country, but we woke up to this on day 9:

to the good life!

even though we arrived after midnight, we were able to get a great room on the 27th floor of at the paris hotel! i felt so fancy. here is the view from our window:

maybe not a town for fishermen?
-
now you dont!

a funny thing happened though...
for a while we saw a dust storm, miles and miles ahead of us. as we approached it, saw a peice of debris, cardboard or something on the roadside. it flew up into the air, dancing around like a plastic bag in a windy alley. as it blew around above us, closer and closer, it became clear that it was a big heavy mudflap from a big truck. it swooped down and hit my car!
how i miss my mirror.
....Now you see it

these pics are hot I cant wait to see the rest, Great to meet you guys...I want to see the video....Louis did some swimming to save a few fish
zach is right, i swam about 12 feet deep in funky old town lake, to try and untangle a real monster for donnie. luckily, the fish got untangled, but sadly, didnt make it to the bank. and we did videotape everything in this thread and more - in a few months i should have a short movie about the whole trip on fishguys.org...
here comes the rest of the pics...

a funny story that happened about this time in the day... I wish i had a pic .... this will sound like a lie, but just ask matt or donnie...
matts rods were about 15-25 yards away from our sitting area, hidden by bushes... alarms go off.... we run over... there is this girl and guy standing over there, obviously startled. this girl seemed super wasted, not the guy though... she was all spaced out with headphones blasting so loud i could hear the words... the first thing she did was shake donnie's hand weirdly, and give me a "way to familiar" hug. she and the guy were both very sweaty... it was a weird few seconds.... she cheered at matt reeling in the fish( that he sadly lost or we'd have a pic of all this). i noticed she had dirt all over her back.... after a minute the guy conveyed to matt through charade like pelvic thrusts, that he and she "thought they were alone" over by matts rods. funny, that whole swim is covered in more poison ivy than i've ever seen in one place. im pretty sure she was working.....

we were also visited by a homeless gentelman named joe, and his friend randal. they both left early in the day, and joe came back a little while later alone- wasted. he was really a friendly guy, but as he got drunker, made less and less sense, and by the end of the day made us pretty uncomfortable. eventually he passed out at our feet and woke up again several times. he was quite photogenic. herehe is with don and a 16.
