I caught the biggest rainbow of my life today (not counting steelhead).
I suppose I have seen bigger in stocked ponds but never caught or seen one this big in public water. I’m having it mounted. Joking. I let it go.
First fish of the new year will be a hard one to top.
wonderful, Benjo! Wht is the lovely rig you used to catch that fish? GOod for you man. 
Thanks for sharing you success story.
WOW! What a fish!!!

lightning bug…lol too funny dude!!!
Benjo, I used to work at a sporting goods store in Bozeman (the same one you have out behind the mall there in town). We had a framed photo of each of us with a big fish behind the fly counter. Had a guy come in one day and look at my picture, then at me, then at my picture. He asked me if that was a local fish, and I told him yes. He asked me if I had it mounted, and I said no, of course not. He was flabbergasted that I wouldn’t have kept it and had it mounted. So I asked him “Then what do I do when I catch a bigger one?”
What a gorgeous fish, Benjo. The picture of you holding this brute and the smile on your face says it all. I’m happy for you.
Well done from me too!
Nice fish.
Thanks for sharing the pic.
