Landing a HUGE trout
http://flyanglersonline.com/features...cast/rc492.php
Or this morning
First cast of the day 6:40am
0X new leader
The trout hits the size 6 coneheaded turkey leech almost immediately.
ALL I see is its TAIL
***OMG***
Bigger than my hand and I have a HUGE hand.
It takes off running immediately. Joe puts a little pressure on it trying to turn it.
The line comes back limp. The escapee bit through the new 0x leader.
Joe put on that brand new 0X leader in front of me. Was not angler error or tactical error.
The trout won on this day.
Joe's walked back to the car and was muttering and with absolute disbelief.
Joe got a glimpse of the whole fish. He said it was bigger than one the in the above story.
I say the "One That Got Away" will be remembered longer.
Joe just called me and we are planning our next visit to 0X.
