Lake Powell is amazing any time of year, but right now the stripped bass are boiling and for an angler this can be truly magical.. This is the Card crew chasing boils at sunset in the main channel.

Hunter and his family have been chasing kokes at the berry this year and when the rod went off a few weeks ago, it was his younger sister Carly that grabbed it and started cranking on the fish.
