We continued out to PG&E, fished for an hour or two for nothing. Then, we headed out to Honker Bay where we watched the sun come up. There we had no luck with keeper sturgeon only a couple of shakers that JR pulled up. Mark did manage to get a keeper striper though. Next, we originally planned to call it a day and watch the Super Bowl but we said "da ell wid dat". We wanted to fish. We tried Chain Island and again, no luck except a bunch of flounders and I think JR had another shaker sturgeon there too.
Finally before we called it a day we tried one more spot in Broad Slough and there JR pulled in a keeper striper and Mark, two big ones - ~26" and the other maybe 28".
Here are the pics:

Mark wrapped up the day with this hog. This is his Ben Affleck pose. Not the real Ben Affleck. Look at the picture below. It's a guy on Fish Sniffer who catches lots of big Stripers on topwater lures who looks like Ben Affleck. Ben Affleck's fish is bigger... hehe.

Man I want to once in my life catch a big fish like that. I know it varies in time, but how long on average would you say it takes to catch a fish?
Yeah it varies. You need the right conditions - right bait, right gear, right location, right time of the day, right tide, etc. With all that and a bit of luck, you could have the thrill of that adrenaline rush as the fish peels line off your reel with your rod bent over from the weight. It's addictive. Once you're hooked you don't mind so much waiting and watching your rod tip hoping for that next big one.
Dang...that's pretty awesome. I can see you guys are addicted. It looks fun. I heard you might get another boat?
