Couldn't help myself

[ollie]

Should I post or not.  That has been a problem of mine for some while.  Needless to say I have had a good week fishing.  Friday I went and visited a bud of mine I have known since HS who lives by Grand Lake.  Fished a heated dock and  3 keepers  (crappie)so that was cool since no else was catching much!  This morning I decided to just fish Capps and if I could just catch a couple I would be happy.  Got on the water around 9:30 and landed my first brown of the day.  Was looking over under the mill and saw this nice guy moving around.  Couldn't tell how big he was but could see him for sure moving around.  Threw up in some really shallow water and some that looked like I would get hung up in, but it payed off.  The jig was moving fast and the brown darted out fast to take it.  I set the hook and it was on!  This was like the third or fourth cast I had made and it was great!  19" to the tape.  I was happy to say the least.  Threw in a couple more times and nothing so I moved on over to the other side.  Threw in a couple or three times and BAM!!, another brown hit my jig.  This one I thought for sure would be over 20" since it was taking a toll on my drag.  After playing it out I measured it out at 18".  What a thrill for sure.  Capps doesn't give up gems like that very often and to catch two within 20 minutes of each other is just something else.  Right time and all of that.  Caught one more brown in the middle section in a real small chute.  Love February for browns on Capps.  That is when I have always caught my best.

Very nice pair of brown trout! Congrats! You definitely put in the time on Capps and deserve the just rewards of a Feb brown trout Bonanza. Those are great fish.
