Root Admin Phil Lilley Posted October 18, 2006 Root Admin Posted October 18, 2006 Drove to the dam this afternoon. Talked and watched more than fished. Didn't see many caught except at outlet 2. Did see lots of browns and rainbows cruising in the flats below #2. Largest brown I saw - 26 inches and about the same size rainbow. More browns than rainbows. Watched a gentleman hook a brown in outlet 2 and walk out with it- or the brown took him out of the outlet. For the next hour, a half dozen of us fisherpeople and other non fisher tourist, watched him fight this fish. Up and down, in and out. At first we thought it was foul hooked- then it jumped and we saw it was not. A big male brown... nice. He reached for his net repeatedly, just to have the fish jet away. His right hand kept cramping- he'd switch hands and exercise it trying to get the blood circulating. Finally he got in the net... barely. 27 inches. Just under 10 pounds. Released. Jerry Backus Linn, MO I assume it caught on a scud... I didn't ask.

Terry Beeson Posted October 18, 2006 Posted October 18, 2006 I'm sure that's the one I hooked Friday night... Good fish, though tired I'm sure... happy, tired, excited, exhauted, satisfied, worn out fisherman... Both living to fight another day...

tippet7 Posted October 18, 2006 Posted October 18, 2006 Very nice fish! I am surprised though that no one has sentenced the gentleman to a death sentence for using a boga grip You are so stupid you threw a rock at the ground and missed.
Terry Beeson Posted October 18, 2006 Posted October 18, 2006 I am surprised though that no one has sentenced the gentleman to a death sentence for using a boga grip Ah, but tippet... you will notice he is not hanging the fish by the boga... Hold the lip, and the tail.... good form!
