Hell of a fish to get in solo well done.. how do you not have the rods in the boat before you get going? the most essential stuff you need. glad to hear it all worked out for ya after all that is a beast of a ski

What an awesome post! Great catch Man! I think it makes it better that you were solo. Keeping composure while trying to stear her in couldn't get more intense! Thanks for sharing this battle.

A lesser man would have thrown in the towel but you pushed through it an got rewarded. Beautiful fish of lifetime right there Chris, congrats!

I'm pretty sure that gut was full of stocked trout, you could kind of see the outlines in person (can't see in the pic) it def didn't seem like eggs and it wasn't releasing any when i handled it. I can tell you it was def feeding heavy in an area where many stocked trout were jumping around though.

yeah for sure, but it's just nicer once the fish is captured if you have another set of hands to get a nice picture and accurate measurement without taking too long or fumbling around with the fish. I'm def glad the dude came over and helped me with that part after the successful fight

it doesn't happen often, but sometimes my brain just fails to function properly hahaha... in this case, those big rods only fit in my truck if i can open the door all the way. I was parked too close to the front steps while hitching the boat up so i had them on the steps until i pulled half out and could fit them in... that was around the time i closed the garage door before i pulled the boat all the way out and then i just drove away without them HAHAHA.

I've jumped in my kayak without a paddle once too and started fishing drifting down the river about 50 yards before i noticed
