Not sorry that I missed Snek.

I almost missed @Jerry Callo as I was looking for Jerry Gallo, but fortunately everything worked out.

My son and I had a great time despite not catching much of note, but it was great to get out and to meet some really cool folks in the San Gabriel club.  Joined up and hoping to make some more trips.

This was as good as it got for me today, and evidently I'm dead and/or turning into Grimace by the color of my hands.

Nice spot here which got chest deep quickly, until I slipped and made it neck deep.  At least the leeches here are tiny.

Spent a week Permit fishing in Mexico at the beginning of August. Permit fishing was tough, but I caught 7 Tarpon between 35 and 100 pounds. The big one whipped my ass. Fought for an hour and forty five minutes on a 10 wt. Dumped most of my backing twice, leadered the fish 4 times, but never got a hand on it. Finally broke it off after it abraided the 80 lb shock tippet as I was trying to turn its head near the boat for the 5th time. Broke it off almost a mile from where I hooked it in about 40 ft of water. I did manage one small Permit.
