25" Monster Rainbow

[Flyguy5910]

Fishing all morning catching some nice trout with my good friend Paul,
i saw this fish slide up to a feeding lane and made about three casts with my caddis/pheasant tail tandom rig, when he rose slightly and took my size 18 P.T.. The battle was on, i was fishing my Sage Z-Axis 9' 3wt with 6x tippet, so i had to take it easy with this 25" Monster Bow. The fish took off at break neck speed into a deep pool with my fly line melting off my reel and the backing now thru the guides, i was thinking he would break off at anytime. After a great battle with the rainbow warrior my partner gently slide him into my net. After a short period of rest he swam out of my hands and back into the pool where he came from. what a great day!!! good friends and good fishing

Well won trophy. A lot of things must be done right for things like this to happen. It will be nice when, in the near future, more carry cameras that can film rather than stills. Thanks, bet it was a fish of a lifetime.

Nice fish! I've never even caught a stream run brown that big. When a bow gets that big around here, we call them a steelhead.

Well done.

Nice job. I think my 3wt would cry uncle if I hooked one of those.
