[@HawkTuahhhhh]

Don't know how long you've been following him, but *ahhhemm* cough* he's gotten better on his hook sets lol. I've been watching Greg's channel for about 5 years now.

Nice! You deserved a fantastic win. 2023 will be your year to shine! Love Shasta, have fished there a ton when I was young like late 50’s an early 60’s into the 70’s. Back when the water was in the trees. Breaks my heart so see it so low. But the times they are a changing. Again, nice job. Fun vid
