Striper Fishing BOX stlye with Pictures to prove it.

When I worked at the Oregon Inlet Fishing Center we would fish the docks using Bloodline from the tuna we cleaned. Usually the "crew" would have a first to five fish bet. Everyone would throw 5 bucks in a hat and the first to five fish would get the hat. I don't know how many times I cut someone's line or had mine cut to prevent that fifth fish. It was fun though. One would hook the fifth fish then try to run away from the other guys so they couldn't cut the line. I wish I had video because that was some funny shit. 5 stinky, blood splattered guys with fishing rods chasing another stinky, blood splattered guy to keep him from catching a fish. Man those memories are priceless.

Bite Me, you're not right. You crack me up, and rolling The Box into it just makes it more funny. Keep it up, pal. Your humor is the shit.

Sorry guys, I forgot to finish. Here goes the conclusion.

Riding down a dirt road at 10,000 ft. We are approaching a tiny stream passing under the road and the BOX goes NUTS. Stop the truck, stop the truck he hollers.

Now mind you Utah is in a severe drought and this trickle of water is 1" deep and about 12" wide. But just after it passes under the road it fans out to about a 6' wide pool and still only about 2" deep, I swear that is all.

I stop the truck 30 yards from the stream and the BOX jumps out, runs to the rear of the truck and you guessed it, grabs a fishing pole with some kind of lure on it.

Remember he is deer hunting with the bow. In his camo, he quietly and stealthly sneaks up to the pool and casts.


I sometimes wonder if the lure actually made it into the water before the 6" brook trout latched on.

The Box had caught his trophy fish on virtually dry land. How that fish had survived and what made the Box think there was a fish in that pool I will never know. But as some has said, the Box can find a fish anywhere.


P.S. I remind you again we were chasing 180" class trophy mule deer. If only I knew about videos then. This video would have been priceless. The Box screaming, hollering about his fish.

A 6" brook trout was truly bigger to him at that time than a World Record Buck.

6" trout----- PRICELESS

the passion runs deep SWB...great story there...lol box
