This one isn’t my #1 favorite (the best one I have is still on film and hasn’t been digitized yet), but it is one of the most beautiful fish I’ve ever caught and probably a close second. Cutthroat on the Green River just below Flaming Gorge dam:
I’ll humiliate myself and show you all a pretty funny one too:
This fat rainbow decided he didn’t want his pic taken and tried to escape! I almost dropped him. LOL.
My favorite one was taken on the Fryingpan River many years ago. I had landed a rather large hooked-jaw male rainbow and was setting up for a photo op with the nice fish.
The fish jumped out of my hands just as the picture was being taken. The final picture looks like I am hugging the fish as I caught it before it went into the water. My head is looking up and I have this big smile on my face like I am saying, “Thank you God!” It is a classic picture.
If I wasn’t out of town right now I would try and get a digital copy in the next few days. Unfortunately, you’ll have to wait for a few weeks instead…
