 Posted: Wed Apr 13, 2011 3:38 pm Post subject: Salmon RIver 4/12/11 HUGE TROUT |
 |
|
Went out yesterday to do some preseason trout fishing (Catch and release only at Salmon River with Barbless hooks) anyway got out there and me and my cousin each landed a around 10 various trout. Then we see a man coming down a small water fall (Rapids whatever you want to call it) with a rod in his hand and it looked like he was snagged, until we actually realize hes fighting a fish. We knew it had to be huge so we paused and watched about 5 minutes later he brings in this monster. I couldnt believe that it came out of a stream, he said it weighed about 7 pounds and I believe him this thing was HUGE. I asked to take his picture with the fish so here it is, awesome rainbow and like a true angler released her for another day (and it would be illegal to keep  ) 
Truly an honor to watch this man fight the fish, you can tell hes caught plenty this sized as he wasnt phased much by it.

The picture doesnt do the fish justice either since I had to downsize it

I dont know much about pulling out breeder trout I can catch numbers but its one of those things that takes time patience and alot of practice im sure, maybe someone on this forum targets big trout

Nice fish ,
but probably not the best way to hold it if your releasing. Let's try and not stick our fingers under the gill plates.

Swany, it was my fish some guy that was fishing next to us I thought Id just share this trophy with everyone, but yes I agree the best bet is to get one of those Rapala fish holders, nno idea what theyre called.
