Shortly after we heard the news of Rashaun Woods being traded to San Diego. We had the opportunity to sit down and talk with Woods, to get his feelings on the move. We met up with Woods at the Mirabel Hole on the Russian River.

49ersNews: Rashaun thank you for taking the time to talk with us.

Rashaun Woods: No problem, could you hand me that Spinnerbait.

FNN: Sure, here you go (Hands Woods the Spinnerbait)

RW: No not that one, that is the Double Colorado. Hand me the Double Willow.

FNN: This one?

RW: No not the speckled one. The sparkly one.

FNN: Sorry, here you go. (Hands Woods the Sparkly Double Willow Spinnerbait)

RW: Thanks, now you were saying.

FNN: How do you feel about the 49ers trading you to San Diego.

RW: San Diego? Trade? What are you talking about.

FNN: Don’t you know? Yesterday the 49ers traded you to San Diego for Sammy Davis.

RW: The Candyman? I thought he was dead.

FNN: No that was Sammy Davis Jr., Sammy Davis is a cornerback and was drafted in the 1st round of the 2003 draft.

RW: Oh. To be honest, the trade surprises me. I guess you could say I’m a little bummed.

FNN: Because you enjoyed playing for the 49ers so much?

RW: Nah, because I’m not familiar with the good fishing spots in San Diego. I found my comfort zone here in San Francisco. I knew all the great fishing holes, and my game has never been better.

FNN: So the fishing is your main concern.

RW: Yes and no. Don’t get me wrong I love to fish. But Donahue and Coach Erickson assured me that I would get playing time this year.

FNN: Donahue and Erickson have been gone for over a year. Mike Nolan is your head coach now.

RW: Mike who? Could you do me a favor. Take this Crawdad Crankbait and throw into that brush over there.

FNN: Mike Nolan. (Throws Crankbait) Don’t you remember? The 49ers owner, John York, fired both Donahue & Erickson and brought in Mike Nolan.

RW: Yeah, now I remember. Sorry just have a lot on my mind right now. This whole trade thing has me flustered. It is very surprising, because I was having such a great offseason, until I got hurt again.

FNN: You got hurt? Is it the thumb again?

RW: No, the thumb is fine. I was at my home the other night studying the playbook, and I got a severe papercut. It cut my pinky finger right on the knuckle. It hurts really bad. I can’t lift, run, or catch right now.

FNN: But you can fish?

RW: Sure. It’s not like it bowling or anything.

FNN: I see, a couple more questions.

RW: Sorry but I hate to cut this short, but I have to talk to my agent and see if he can hook me up with some fishing reports in the San Diego area.

FNN: Well there you have it.
