went fishing again today. fishing was off and on. i was trying to spot

the big ones and did manage to catch a few in the 5-6 lb. range(pics to follow) i had one on 2 different times (although once he was fouled)

and he snapped me off. i bet he was pushing 12 lbs. fun to fight but what a dissapointment on that goliath fish. he didnt want anything to do with me after that. i caught and seen most of the bigger ones in the upper portion of the river, but there are some pockets and pools on down that draws these big fish. i think i landed about 20 fish today. all were good sized with the smallest being a lb and a half and all had good colors.

i will post pics of a couple.

note: i caught the same fish 3 different times. i could tell by his hook jaw.

that fish never learned

a little late but i had to post this pic

nice ugly fish with no tail(it looks to have been bitten off)

a buddy known on here as wet dreams caught this one on thanksgiving day

Once again, nice rainbow pics. I bet that they all put up a good fight. Your making Meremac Springs the upcoming place to fish in the winter. We will have to give the current and bennett a try later in Dec when I get done with school.

Wetdreams fish looks like a rainbow colored log without that tail, I bet it was like reeling one in too.

Believe it or not, the rainbow did put up a nice fight for about 2 min. Than got into the swift water and didn't stand a chance.Well I was suprised I even had to fight the fish.I figured he would have acted like a fish flopping out of the water. (but in the water) Still find it hard to believe the fish looked as healthy as it did.

went fishing again today 11/29

wasnt the best day but a bad day fishing is still not too shabby.

dont get me wrong, we had a pretty decent day(wet dreams and myself) but we could have done alot better with the potential. for example, wet dreams is

daydreaming when a 5-6 lber dunks his indicator. after being a day late on

the hookset, he spooks the fish off. i had a 7 lber on and was ready to net him and for whatever reason my line just broke. i didnt put any extra pressure on him either. we didnt get good pics today so for all you know i am making this up, but...........we salvaged the day with a couple pics including a nice brown

here they are

another

what the heck,one more

Bad Day....? Looks like you all did alright. That brown is pretty wicked looking, a rare catch in Maramec. Shawn, it looked like you had a good catch. Give me 3 more weeks to finish school, and I'll be down there with you guys.
