Got the green light from the wife to go to Rufus Woods today!! "REGULATORS MOUNT UP"!!

Got Jake the Snake and Dave aka Mr. Pabst Blue Ribbon to try and our hands at the big trips and savory walligators. Dave picked us up at 6 am and the journey was on. Fought through some freezing fog to get down to the water. Launched the boat at Seaton's Grove and we wanted to go after the Walleyes early. Headed to the island \ bar just down stream to do some jigging. Water was wippin and we tried to get the jigs down but the current ripped the jigs downsteam fast! Well the Walleye journey went quick. Jake ended up hooking a native in the rapids but somehow it shook off the hook set??? Lets get the heck out of here and get after the trout.

We head down to the set of pens down from the Nespelem bar. Lots of boats everywhere. Throw out the anchor, bait the hook, get the music pumpin, Let the Good Times Roll. Just then out of the corner of my eye, I catch a glimps of a Living Legend. World Renown Angler Blufin Loui. It was a sight to behold. Not only did we witness the man, the myth, the legend, but who did we see riding with him in the back but the gorgeous and beautiful Mrs. Blufin Loui. We greated each other and bid good luck. Not 30 seconds later does the iconic yellow trout slaying rod bend in half and Mrs. Loui has herself a hog. Damn she's good!! It's not everyday that you witness magic but I had a frontrow seat.

I cast out and let her drift when nip, nip, nip, whhhiiiippp! Fish on! Ahohhh!! Mothug33 is on the board. Moby fought hard but was no match for these forearms. 8 lbs, no big deal!! Jake netted the badboy like a veteren. Nice work Bro!! Can I get a Yeeeaaahhh!!

Fished hard for several hours with a couple of light nips but no more fish. Shoot. We packed up and headed down 2 netpens and tried there. Got inside the booy line and worked in between the shore and pen. Bang, bang. I get another and then Jake slams one too!! Both fish were in the 5 pound range.
What a day on the water. Foggy at first, then the blue skies opened up. Saw deer, bald eagles, and enjoyed God's Green Earth. Pleasure meeting Mr. & Mrs. Loui. What a class act you guys are!! Thanks to Dave for that killer boat of his. Jake, your my inspiration. Anyone have any tips for me on fishin for Rufus Woods Walleye?? Any advise would be greatly appreciated!!

Till next time. Keep that hook-set strong by doin 12 oz curls. OUT!!
