Hard to describe this one in words...this thing put up one of the best fights i've ever had. I wondered into a new stretch of river hoping for the best. A cut out bank tree caught my attention and i took probably 6 casts at it before this beautiful beast put my lure to a dead stop...
i remember thinking i was snagged but my instincts kicked in and i just set the hook and this monster took me for a 4-5 minute battle! ran me through the overhanging shore brush...darted at my legs making me side step her. as i finally lifted my net under her my lure got caught on the outside...that's how close i was to losing this fight! Chalk up another PB for 2017!
hmm, close to 100 trout caught (mostly wild) over the past 2 years, none seriously harmed by the evil barbed treble plug...hmmmmmmm
