😮 Just been watching updates on your fires! Saw drone footage flying over houses after houses burnt to the ground in suburban areas, blocks of houses wiped out! We get bad fires here but iv never seen anything like this here in my life.

Spinning rod for me. Catching a Steelhead is like lightning strikin' your pole.
Only thing fights harder is our striped bass.
