Say hello to Philadelphia’s own Mike “Haystack” Stakias who led the way on Day Two of the Tattoos fishing, landing a 22” beauty of a Blackfoot brown and wining himself the Yellow Hat of the day! But, get this, for the second day in a row the second place boat was the SS Rodgers with the dynamic father-daughter duo of “Squawfish” Tim and “CT” Mardi who added three more twenty inch fish to the four that they boarded on Day One: CT’s 21” rainbow, and her dad’s 20” brown plus 21” rainbow, all in addition to a gaggle of other bounties from this wonderful fishery.
Kevin “CPA” Sweeny and his bride Chris “Double Rainbow” (also known in these parts as “The Happy Hooker” [so named for her propensity to hook her hubby]) ventured out on the companion Bitterroot River to land their 20 fish, the largest being a 16 incher for HH while the rest of the armada fished the legendary Blackfoot (“A River Runs Through It”) with mixed results: The father-son SS Baylacq saw more wildlife than fish as did (i) the dynamic duo of Greg “Good Living” Livengood and sidekick Stuart “LA” Marlborough; (ii) the dancing team of Joe “Campari” Ciatti and Ken “Strip” Petrilla (so named for his propensity not to do so) and (iii) and father daughter team of Jerry “The Juice” Pantaleo and Gianna “Pike” Pantaleo (earning her Montana name for the 22” northern pike that she landed).
Faring better than the others the father-son tag team of Brad “Maven” Miller and “Son of Maven” Jack landed 17 Blackfoot fish, including papa’s 20 ½” brown which put him back on the Twenty Inch Board after a couple year respite (sonny trying, in vain, to have his 20” suckerfish added to the Board, but no such luck!
Today the Twos are on the water for their final journey into Extravaganzaland for this year and it will be most interesting to see how things report out, as, FINALLY, the weather here is warming up and, resultantly, the bug activity is increasing!
