The top fish pictured measured 35x18 inches 14.63lbs; My personal best. I went 5/5 yesterday. All on jigs and all using my Curado and this fish bit on a 1/16th jig that I tied up. A new pattern that I have been messing with..I am starting to love using a baitcaster for everything now..
My spinning reels are going to start collecting dust..
I remember casting out, looking around.. Look to find my bobber.. Blink a few times.. blink again.. What the? Where the?...then all of a sudden I feel the ultimate Tug Drug...
FISH ON!! I knew right away this was a good fish. A guy I was fishing next to asked me if I needed the "N" word(net).. I cringed because the last 5 fish I have lost all have been the result of me asking for the "N" word, but this time I didn't ask for a net, I asked for a landing device.. lol

The rules:
Any species.
It must either be a 1st or a Personal best.

RE:2011/2012 Season River Trophies
Not 100% sure about the personal best on this one, my PB before this was 18.1 on steelhead, but this one I measured out before released, and by the formula it says 18.6 (40 by 18). So, i thought id post it. No people around, so its not a good pic, got him on the last day the vedder was open this year

I don't normally but I was curious. He was big and deep and chrome and put up a good fight. Biggest I've caught so far. Ate one side of him tonight baked and the rest is in the brine for the smoker tomorrow.

~Men and fish are alike. They both get into trouble when they open their mouths.
~My biggest worry is that my wife (when I'm dead) will sell my fishing gear for what I said I paid for it.

RE:2011/2012 Season River Trophies
Biggest pink of the year, think it might be a personal best. At least in recent memory. Just a tad over 26 inches and girth just shy of 15 1/2 inches. Think that worked out to about 8 pounds.

)- here's what happened to the others I caught
