Had the day off so a fishin I went,looked at the south branch and it had some ice so opted for the pequest first.Picked away at some really sluggish fish early then packed it in and when it got warmer and headed back to the S/B.Fish were much more lively and chasing my offerings to the bank,bagged three decent rainbows then it hit.Saw her roll and knew it was big,she didnt fight great with slow drag peelin runs,once I got a look at her I saw the jaw tag.I didnt get any measurements but she was beautiful snapped 1 pic took the tag out and away she went.

"Bubba is back! This year she is a big Rainbow. Get out there and fish. Catch Bubba and release her, remove the jaw tag and win a GLoomis Experience fly rod!"

Outofline got last years Bubba and lost this years Bubba, then you went back and sealed the deal. Great work guys !!!!!

"Bubba is still out there, remember she is a big Rainbow. She can be identified by her jaw tag. Catch and release the fish removing the jaw tag and win a GLoomis Experience 9' 4wt fly rod. She has plenty of company (over two hundred feisty trout from 12-20 inches) so happy hunting! We should have some fun with these fish through the winter"

Did you claim your G. Loomis rod yet? Since you are not a Girl Scout I'm betting not;)

Took my tag to shannons today and was pleasantly surprised that they substituted the fly rod for a pair of bailey waders that are sweet kudos to shannons fly shop!

That was very nice of them. You followed all the rules and they took care of you. Did they say when they would stock another Bubba, I could use a pair of new waders.
