Very Nice!

[skibum]

Aaron, how long was that striper and how much did she weigh?? ;)

Trey we can match that fish this weekend right :D

[chuckwagon]

I would love to say yes but I am in no way gonna jinx us and say "heck yeah, all day long!"

They have caught fish in the 30 # range over the last 2 weeks. Just not many yet. They are there, just spread out.

I don't like you guys, any of you;) ::ke: Nice fish gentlemen!

[THE EG]

My biggest fish are sharks and sailfish but they are on polaroid so I can't post them here. Besides, I had hair then and nobody would recognize me anyway.

So here is my largest fish on a fly rod. Being a rube from Georgia I evidently violated two Alaska "given"s with this fish. The sage advice was kings in spawning colors do not strike a fly (evidently, an egg sucking leech doesn't count and we kept hooking kings accidently the whole trip). Also, if I understand correctly, Alaska etiquette in places dictates you are not supposed to target kings in spawning colors. For that one I beg forgiveness as a goober from Georgia. Besides, where we were, there wasn't anybody within 20 miles to point this out at the time.

Here are some pictures Lambster asked me to post. I was going to post some of mine, but after seeing some of these you guys have posted it looks like I need to do a little more serious fishin'. Steve- you can explain these pictures.

Thanks Jeff! Thems the biggest I've ever landed! The Brown was caught 2006 on the Soque River in a cold 38 degrees....... sorry I couldn't smile I was frozen!!!!! The King Salmon was caught and landed on the Great Salmon River in NY... she was a 36 pounder! Plus she bit my left hand pretty good! We'd go up every year and fish for Kings,COHO's and Steelhead....... The Rainbow was caught in Dec. of 2006 it was one of the prettiest Rainbows I ever caught! (Mr.Copper) helped me catch this nice Rainbow! Nice Brookie Ben! What a shark Gator! Nice photo's you all!

fishmonger: Nice fish my brother! First time we fished for Salmon on the Salmon river I hooked the first fish of the morning I was scared because I'd never hooked anything that large or that strong.........:yikes: that fish druged me up and down river for 20 mins. I was shaking like a old man!!!!!!! But put it in the net!

James, I hereby offically offer to be your rod-boy. I can fight off bears, polish your reels, sharpen hooks, take your pictures, fetch snagged flies, open beers, clean line, and just be super helpful and humble. Please just let me take my TFO Spey stick and follow you, at no closer than 10 paces, of coarse, and hope that some of your chrome mojo wafts my way.

You are my idol. I'm not worthy, I'm not worthy, I'm not worthy...

Monger,
for some reason, your pics are showing up as red "X's" instead of the actual pics.

[fishmonger]

That figures. I USED to put them at freefishingpictures.com, but they have just changed it and screwed it up real good. I need a new upload site. Any suggestions? I looked at Photobucket, but don't really want to give them all my personal info.

FM

[James Buice]

Fishmonger, which TFO spey stick do you have. I noticed they have Mike Kinney and Bob Meiser teaming up for a rod, the Deer Creek or something like that.

Yeah, those steelhead are something special

[Loopdawg]

Any suggestions? I looked at Photobucket, but don't really want to give them all my personal info.

Well, I use photobucket, and I know several other folks on here use it too. There's probably some other "photo tagging" sites out there too, I just can't think of them. Strutta uses Webshots for his pics.

It is a 14 foot 8/9 weight that I got in early 2006. I really haven't put it to the test on a good fish, sorry to say. I landed a 18" steelie on the Hood River, and got broke off by a nice fish on the Deschutes. It sure is fun to cast, but I can't get much action with it here. BC is obviously the place to be for serious steelheading, or the Olympic peninsula. I spent a week in the Columbia gorge this past September, and only got 2 chinook jacks to show for my efforts. 7 days, 10 rivers, big ouch. Oh well, that's fishing.

That is one intersting fish. I have seen the smaller versions around Curtis Switch, but nothing that size. I think one bit Gatorbyte once if I remember his post correctly.

I am going to have to get a water proof camera, because it seems like big fish are attraccted to a camera.:huh:

[Reel'em In]

No, I put that nasty grunting thing back in the water where he came from. Some of these guys heading to the far NE corner of the state may get the opportunity of a lifetime to land it also :D .

[Grizzz]

This is one of mine. Sorry for the poor picture, it is a scanned one. 85# Grouper in the Bahamas. We had a hard time finding a branch large enough to hang him from.

Love that picture. How are you able to hold it up with just your finger tips? :bang: It looks like a wacked out Safari picture with you wearing a Pith helmet. Too bad I don't have time to mess with Photoshop.

BTW, Great fish.
