Kayser Posted October 14, 2014 Posted October 14, 2014 Got a new personal best Sunday. 22", 14.5" girth, on 7x tippet. Thought you'd enjoy a couple pictures. http://imgur.com/8wT4fLz http://imgur.com/q3owm92 WARNING!! Comments to be interpreted at own risk. Time spent fishing is never wasted.

Justin Spencer Posted October 14, 2014 Posted October 14, 2014 Nice, I don't think I even own 7x tippet, just shows all the guys breaking off fish need to back off the drag!

Root Admin Phil Lilley Posted October 14, 2014 Root Admin Posted October 14, 2014 That's an accomplishment!! On 7x. Taney?
Kayser Posted October 14, 2014 Author Posted October 14, 2014 Thanks Phil! Nope, not Taney, since there are closer rivers to Rolla. I don't think I've fished Taney since I was 6 years old... Been meaning to fix that, just haven't had the chance. And it was odd that she didn't break off- the line was wrapped around her maxilla, thought that would have sheared it off for sure. As for the location, here's the link to the full album. Not much of a guessing game, but still fun. WARNING!! Comments to be interpreted at own risk. Time spent fishing is never wasted.

Geoff Posted October 14, 2014 Posted October 14, 2014 That "new hole" has been there for a over a year now. We have caught 1 or 2 small browns out of it, and I was hucking meat once there and had something take a swing and a miss. I need to get out soon and fish.

Kayser Posted October 14, 2014 Author Posted October 14, 2014 I've been gone for a couple years, so that makes sense. Should have known how old it was based on the amount of tackle hanging in the branches above it, but I was just itching to fish it and didn't think about it. And I hooked something I thought was a log, so I went in to try and free it up, then realized it was a fish once I kicked it with my boot. No clue what size, though. Probably a rainbow, based on where it was holding and the tight head shakes- browns generally have a wider, slower thrash. Wanted to go again today, but I just got done with homework and it gets dark too early right now. Guess I'll have to tie flies and plan on next week instead. WARNING!!
