Big Hands Posted March 9, 2021 Posted March 9, 2021 On this day in 1990, Bob Crupi pulled this 21 pound behemoth from Castaic Lake using a live crawdad for bait. About a year later, he caught a 22 pounder from the same lake. Note: Is it me, or does he have some tiny hands for a grown man, LOL. 2 Quote

Michigander Posted March 9, 2021 Posted March 9, 2021 Must have been too busy with my 2nd grade homework to notice this achievement in 1990. Incomplete Homework = No Nintendo. 'Twas a simpler time. ? 1 Quote

I caught my PB in there too, but on the west bank right on the corner of the cut on that side. That wrist wrecker pistol grip definitely dates this photo. Glad we don't use those anymore. 1 Quote

Super User BrianMDTX Posted March 10, 2021 Super User Posted March 10, 2021 This day in 1990 I was likely turning wrenches on a 737-200 at BWI. Six months away from turning the Big 3-0. And I thought THAT was old! Quote
Super User Columbia Craw Posted March 10, 2021 Super User Posted March 10, 2021 Well I know where I wasn’t........... in the back of a pickup truck behind a bar. 1 4 Quote
Super User DitchPanda Posted March 10, 2021 Super User Posted March 10, 2021 Was living in Ingleside Texas 20 minutes outside of Corpus Christi. Was either doing homework or in the bay pulling on some speckled trout with my dad..who at that time was younger then I am now. Some of you guys don't think 1990 was that long ago..but when your only 37 its forever. Quote

Alex from GA Posted March 11, 2021 Posted March 11, 2021 That was my local lake back then. Bill Lamb taught me how to bass fish @ Castaic in a tournament. I caught the big fish, 6 lbs, $108, and I think we came in 4th. All Bill wanted to do was beat Don Iovino and we did. 1 Quote
