FISH,
RUBIO: ‘Discipline has
played a big role this year’

something of a giveaway, but each has a specifi c
purpose.
“The farmer’s walk is a test of grip strength.
The log press is a test of overall body power and
how much you can press overhead. The yoke
walk is how much weight you can carry, and the
deadlift is a test to see how much you can pick
up off the fl oor,” Rubio said.
Rubio won all four of those events – which
included carrying 700 pounds in the yoke walk
– but he ended up placing third in Mas wrestling,
the only event in which competitors go head-
to-head. In Mas wrestling, two opponents grab
a wooden stick sitting across from one another
and brace their feet against a wood slab between
them. It resembles a tug-of-war from a sitting
position with the goal being to dislodge the stick
or one’s opponent.
“Mas wrestling is a real test of grip, but also

home run, his second, over
the left fi eld fence. Richard
Rodriguez doubled to right,
and Jebavy reached fi rst on a
fi elder’s choice. A wild pitch
moved both runners up a
base, and Compton drove
both home with a single to
left. Jason Richman, a left-
handed submariner, replaced
Fairbanks, the losing pitcher,
on the mound and retired
the side.
Each club scored once in
the fi fth. For Spokane, Con-
nor McKay homered over
the right fi eld wall. With two
out for the Volcanoes, Hi-
nojosa and Jose Vizcaino Jr.
walked. Blake Bass came in
to pitch and Brad Moss hit a
grounder over second base to
center to drive in Hinojosa.
The Indians added a run
in the sixth. Cory Taylor was
on the mound for the Volca-
body fl exibility in a compromised position. Even
to start the event is diffi cult for a lot of guys,”
Rubio said.
Rubio’s 5-foot-9 frame and lightweight status
(231.4 pounds) give him a slight advantage, but
Rubio ended up in a three-way tie for fi rst in
Mas wrestling after another competitor injured
his hands and had to forfeit the match with Ru-
bio. Rubio ended up third because he weighed
in highest of the three strongmen who were tied.
While he’s eager to compete on the larger
stages in the sport, he’s mindful of what got him
to this point.
“The biggest thing that made a difference this
past year was being disciplined and applying the
things that I already know,” Rubio said. “That
discipline has played a big role this year, and it
can mean small things like getting a good night’s
sleep so I can be ready to train better the next
day.”
noes and gave up a leadoff
homer to Dylan Moore.
Salem-Keizer scored twice
in the seventh. Luis Parra
took over the pitching du-
ties from Richman and gave
up singles to Steven Dug-
gar and Chris Shaw. Duggar
went to third on Shaw’s hit,
and a throwing error by right
fi elder Doug Votolato put
Shaw on second. Hinojosa’s
double to left scored both
baserunners.
EJ Encinosa took the
mound for the Volcanoes
to start the eighth. Clark
singled to right center and
Moore was hit by a pitch.
Clark scored all the way from
second on a wild pitch and
Moore went to third on a
throwing error by catcher
Moss. Jamie Potts walked and
reached second on a passed
ball and Sherman Lacrus
scored Moore by grounding
out.
Dario Beltre pitched the
eighth for Spokane, allowing
only one batter to reach fi rst.
Caleb Smith, who pitched
for Salem-Keizer in the
ninth, walked two but struck
out three and got a save.
Volcanoes manager Kyle
Haines said he was “trying to
fi nd the right mix of guys”
to keep improving his club’s
record.
Hinojosa described the
comeback effort as “getting
back into it and learning to
play with these guys.”
Asked what he had been
working on to improve his
performance, Webb said he
was focusing on “trying to
get that fi rst pitch a strike.”
the boat for us three old guys.
We have fun telling him how
lucky he is that we taught him
so much.”
“Problem is, you forgot
what you taught me,” Mike
responds. “I had to go out and
learn the right way.”
Bauer owns a drift boat and
a 24-foot Willie Raptor. “My
wife says we have a two boat,
and one car garage,” he adds
with a big laugh.
Bauer has fi shed Alaska,
British
Columbia
and
Washington. His favorite
fi shery is still Tillamook Bay.
“We like to troll spinners.
We make our own,” Bauer
said. “That slack line bite is
exciting. You are trolling along
watching the throb of the
spinner on the rod tip. Then,
your line goes slack. The
salmon is swimming toward
the boat. You have to get that
slack out before you can set
the hook.”
At this point Bauer begins
to laugh. “That trying to get
the slack out has led to some
pretty funny situations,” he
adds. “Mike is sitting in the
back of the boat, we yell ‘slack
line,’ the fi sh is coming at
the boat fast. Mike jumps up,
dashes to the bow of the boat
and sets the hook. We have
a big laugh. Good thing the
boat is 24 feet. With the old
19, Mike wouldn’t have had
enough room to set the hook.”

Bauer says he has observed
over the years that golf buddies
seem to change with time, as
handicaps and ages change.
They seem to rotate through.
Not so with fi shing friends.
“You can’t fi nd better friends,
than fi shing friends,” Bauer
adds. “Fishing buddies are
forever.”
