Went to Oregon with my friend Chris Hinckley to see if we could get a few Oregon fish on swimbaits. Had a great time, caught some up to 6 plus, missed a bunch (tail biters), and Chris dumped a 7 plus. The place has potential, but Chris always knew that. Sooner or later I think one of us will stick a double d up there.

Heres the blow part. After fishing the first night we laid down in our tents at 7 am (it was a 3 day night fishing trip). We leaned all our poles against the trailer that was right next to the door of the tent. Im talking two feet from my head. We had all the air flaps open. We wake up at noon to discover that of the six rods, two were stolen. Yep, both were mine and they were the only swimbait rods I own. I cant believe somebody had the ba*** to walk right up to our tent and do that in broad daylight, and I cant believe one of us didnt hear them doing it!! Just a reminder that just when you think you are safe... oh well. Im sure gonna miss that brand new G-Loomis I had. The thought of some tweaker carrying that rod around, even touching it, just kills me. Oh yeah, I also lost my original Slammer, the one I caught my first double d on (it was tied on to one of the rods). That bait swam so sweet!!

Considering the stuff that has happened to me in the last few months, this may be the last straw. One thing for sure is I wont be fishing anytime soon. Ok, Im done whining ;(
