6" swimbait fish

I played hookey with a friend yesterday, and went up to fish Castaic. First thing, I was throwing my 6" crappie swimbait, slow sink, and he was throwing my 8" trout, fast sink.
He got slapped but no hookup, and had a big follower.
I got this fish, and had a monster come up out of the depths and turn away when she saw the boat. It was an, "Oh my .........!" moment. You fill in the blanks. If I had been working that wall from the opposite direction, so the lure came across her at the start of the cast instead of the end, she would have eaten it, she was coming up so hard and fast.
Her tail looked like a broom when she turned in about 4' of gin clear water.
Anyway, here's the fish I caught. Not the biggest on this lure so far, but fun.

Re: 6" swimbait fish

Jamie,
It opens on my computer. Maybe it's in a format that your computer won't open. That happens to me all the time.
Here's another go at it:


I don't know how to post it larger, or in a different format, and my kids aren't here, so it will have to wait.
Sorry if it doesn't open this time.

Re: 6" swimbait fish

MP,

I'm afraid it isn't just Jamie's computer, I can't see it either. It just shows a red "X" in a rectangle. Unless that is the bait. I don't think it will swim though. Just kidding. I'm anxious to see it. Are you just trying to build some suspense?

Re: 6" swimbait fish

@ mark poulson

Maybe this describtion from an absolute computer dumphead would lead you the right way :

I load my pics from the camera into my picture program(Picasa 2) and work on them(brightness , focus , contrast, etc... ) , save my settings and save up the chosen pics there to export them into another new file , in a minimized pixel size of 650 pixels !
After that open up this new file and mark those pics one by one to alter their name(I always do this referring to what is shown on it in capital letters and numbers, check the names on my forum thumbnails) .
The sense of this is , that EVERY picture that you post , should have a different name , when there are two equally named ones around , one won't submit . And your camera will always give same picture names , since everytime that you delete your memory card inside of it , it would just start at number one again !

Make sure , that there also won't be no double filenames , either !

Allright , you did this , so when posting , go below the text window on "manage attachments" , click on it , a window appears and you choose "search files" there to get access to your own picture files , where you choose desired file and mark it .
Now mark desired picture and open it up , the file name would then appear in its bar inside the window .
Repeat on second and third bar , if you wish to upload more than one picture .

Finally click on the "upload" bar , than your selection would be submitted into your reply , indicated by the picture names shown in yellow writing in that window , but also in the "manage attachments" square in the "Reply" mask .

Hope , that an absolute "Know-Nothing" could possibly help you !

Greetz , diemai

Mark, I don't even see anything that would indicate that you posted a pic. No red x, no url or anything.

Re: 6" swimbait fish

Set up a Photobucket.com acct. Then all you have to do is click and paste. Tre facile!
this pic took about 2 seconds to attach and your pics are available anywhere you can get on line.

Re: 6" swimbait fish

Geez,
My friend said it's a skinny fish, but not that skinny!
I'll try it from my email, where I sent the photo from the picture software.

I can see the photo on this post. It is an http// file.
If I try to load it from my documents, it's a jpeg, or whatever that is, and it won't load.
All of the photos I loaded in the gallery I did this same way, so I don't know whats going on, unless the latest site maintenance cycle changed something.

Re: 6" swimbait fish

I uploaded the photo to the gallery. Try there. Not a giant, but fun, and I had a giant make a run up to the same lure farther along in that cove.
