I woke up yesterday morning @ 7:00 with no more yardwork or chores to do and was wondering what to do for the day. I debated going out shooting gophers,varmints ect... and decided to save my ammo for larger varmintshing a nice secluded mountain stream......w/a interstate running next to ithe
I had my truck in sight and still nothing, I figured I was going home empty handed (thats ok still better than working)hit
First cast went in the sweet spot of a small backswirling under current. it just sort of hung in that spot for a second or two and BAM I thought I was going to loose my pole this fish hit my bait so hard. And the fight ensued...... dowstream,upstream,deep and then he came out of the water..... one of the most beautiful things I had seen in a while.... he was huge at least 20" or morehim.

I baited back up and tossed it back in the same spot just to see if there might be one more in this hole......Bam another big one takes the bait....repeat ......by the time the I was done I pulled the one rainbow and four browns out of this hole and it all happened in the matter of 40 minutes got my limit for the day and..... dinner plans were brewinghats http://www.hunt101.com/data/562/medium/100_2994.JPG
Catch of the dayhttp://www.hunt101.com/data/562/medium/100_2997.JPG
This guy thought he got away the first time he took my bait and then got me snagged uphe

Otherwise 12/10 because it looks delicious.

I thought something with citrus flavor would go well w/fish... besides my girlfriend was coming home later and Its guaranteed pie after she has a few of them.

Because you killed, cleaned and cooked it you get a 9 but I deduct .5 for the bitch beer and .5 for the shitty beer.

Nice catch man

And personnally I LIKE BUSCH

Dammit! you killed yours.

Damn, fish are some ugly critters when they're whole

They're much better after they've been cooked. 10/10

Posted: 6/2/2008 7:46:29 PM EDT

Easy Win.

But it would have been much better if you replaced Smirnoff ice with Coors Light

Thanks for the pictures, I will try lemmon, and butter in my trout next.....

You dont understand the scoring system. He has to get an automatic 10 because he killed it himself. That be the rulez!

thank you I enjoyed the catch as well as the prep and consumption. I just realized something I just past 50 posts in over four years that must be some kind of record

If that was on a menu, I'd pass.

Don't take it personally....(I'm sure my opinion doesn't matter anyways

Awesome play-by-play - setting things up for the last cast of the day when "bam!" they start biting like mad

Awesome pictures of the prep work. Awesome final presentation. Looks good.

10/10 Freakin' awesome. My ass needs to get out the house and do a little fishing. It's been years for me too. Maybe roll down to Walmart this afternoon and get my license and then head out with my daughter when she gets in from school. Thanks for the idea, m1awolf!

Looks like a nice catch and pretty good dinner ya' had.

Score 9/10

-1 for the combination of:

1. Busch beer
2. Stapler in a dinner pic ( this ain't office depot .com )
3. mags on the table that could possibly be unloaded ( turn them to the camera so it's a no doubter )

Still a quality spread and nice write up, and I personally know how good freshly caught trout tastes
