Don't you just love those spawning colors? I am really off my mark this year on lunkers. 21 to date. 

High water most of the year though, Rick.

Sorry to hear that, but you guys have been catching some beauties for sure.

Also for the most part 2020 has sucked!

This is a much better picture of her 8.65 so I had to share it.

Thanks but once again my lovely bride caught this fish. She has whooped it on me this year for size. But you know what, I couldn't be happier.

She may have set the hook..... but I bet THE COACH was heavily involved. 😉

The coach was nervous as you know what trying to net those fish.

I learned a long time ago ..... If you see a guy on a trout stream that carries a net THAT SIZE strapped to his back...... You're best move is to just watch and learn.  😊 

Whether he catches one, or not, doesn't matter.....just pay close attention to how he operates.

I know that you know this wrench, it is a heck of a lot easier to net your own fish as to try and net one for someone else. She caught both of those fish on barbless hooks and they both made good initial runs and good secondary runs. She has learned to let the reel do the hard work. Hang on and hope for the best.
