that blew up on a buzz bait last night. not sure how many of them are out here on the delta but of all the years ive been fishing the delta this is my first squaw fish ive ever seen in person let alone caught. the strange thing is is that i had another one blow up on a spook and ended up shaking free. when the first one jumped i thought it was a carp cause it was so long and how dark it was getting last night.
