Arden Hanline Jr. joined me at Diamond Valley Lake and his
Huddleston bait netted him this beauty on 4.14.'09.

'historical occasion'
after being forced to get off the lake like we were
(the
wife and I) at about three in the afternoon.
It was Wednesday October 22nd, the first complete day of the terrible San Diego Fires
in 2003.
This fire, one of the four that week, was set east of Otay Lake,
where we took this.
Luckily it was put out after about three days, unlike
the Cedar fire which got
started by a lost hunter setting a 'signal fire' the
night before out in Ramona.
The Cedar
Fire.
This was
the largest wildfire in the state’s history.. With the combination of a
drought-ridden environment,
pine-beetle infested trees, house crowding and
Santa Anna winds, the Cedar Fire quickly grew into
what many considered to be
the perfect firestorm. By the time it was 100% contained in mid November,
the
fire had burned 280,278 acres, killing 14 people, including one firefighter.
It also destroyed 2,232
residences, 22 commercial properties, 566 outbuildings
and 148 vehicles throughout the San Diego area..
Cropped and then blown-up and to see the fires better in background.

'Catfish Herbert' does it again!
Beginners luck? (He's only been catfishing for a month!)
This one was tossed back, as he usually does on the monsters.
Herbert, under Michael's tutelage, has become known
as 'Catfish Herbert' in recent days with his catch of a 21# channel
catfish at Lake Poway and a 12# channel the week after this image was taken at
Lake Dixon. His wife Gita (otherwise known as 'Mrs Catfish Herbert') comes
along to give moral support, while wife Valerie wonders if I will fall overboard before
taking this image!!?

Valerie, Nicole and John Olichney pose with Catfish Herbert's two
catfish.
Here's the proof - Herbert's 12# catfish, caught off the dock
just before the midnight kick out time at the lake. He caught it on
mackerel just below the dock. It was Nicole's and John's first time
catfishing, having been 'bit by the bug' after catching salmon up in Alaska
recently.
Of course Valerie is no wimp when it comes to landing catfish
either,
or hefting the whole batch for a photo for that matter.
