Big Bow - Wannza

[Capt. Lou]

Sometimes if you put in the time for big trout it finally comes together!
Tonite was the topper , I landed two nice bows among a batch of smaller ones.
One of the big ones taped out at 25.5"
& 7.8 #'s. This one had the lure so deep no way of saving the fish.
The second was about 3" longer , estimated her to weigh in at close to 9#'s , a truly huge stream fish . This fish was definitely bigger than an 8.5# fish that I landed couple of seasons ago.

This fish was hooked lighty and no release issues! I didn't think just did it before I even thought about killing this fish. No regrets , love to havehad a camera to get a quick shot but I didn't .
I have a photo of the fish I had to keep, but forget how to post, help anyone?
All in all a great trout with I'm sure my PB , NJ stream fish!!
