Default South Branch Beasties 12/28

Hit the upper south branch near Califon in search some monsters and i was not disappointed I had my best day yet.Fished some tricky spots with allot of overhang,tons of prickly bush and steep banks and I was all alone...Perfect.I started picking fish right away all rainbows from 12"-26" all on jigs.First big fish hit the jig and went upstream peeling of drag then did a tarpon jump and went back downstream before I subdued her,I rough estimated her at ~24" 5-6lbs and back she went.I thought that was my nut for the day but an hour later i hooked into a bigger one that was like fighting a steelhead up and down the river multiple jumps and lots of drag burning,this one was bigger at ~26 and heavy maybe 8-10lbs.
