I took my condo neighbor up the dam this afternoon to do some fishing and catch some of the Blue Angels fly overs.  He had never been to the dam, he mostly fishes the Landing area.  
We each caught several rainbows and I caught a 15” brown.   Right before the Angels started I caught this brown.   I chased it around with the trolling motor and he netted it.   He couldn’t believe how big it was.  
When I first saw it come to the surface I immediately thought 10 pounds.   Nope.  9.76 pounds.  Picture was at 3:28 pm and the Air Show started at 3:30.   We hung around for the fly overs and left.  

 

Hella nice fish.  Congratulations.  Would love to fish with you sometime to learn your tactics, corn chumming and such.  Seriously though, kudos.  That’s a tank.

Lilleys 3/32 sculpin jig in the trophy area.  Corn is quite effective though.

Nice fish.  I never could figure out how to thread the cream style corn on a hook, so, I never used it.

I like it when the Angels are flying, they come around here ever 5 years or so.

Brown to Blue,  please pardon me this detour on such a fine occasion for a day of dual enjoyment of a magnificent Brown and the mighty Blue (Angels).  I went into a reverie, though of different meanings.  One of my favorite songs.....

Absolutely!    Clear it with your husband, grab your Little Mermaid pole and come on down.

Caught it in a spot that is much different than Taney😉. Possibly a stream bred trout,🤔

I'd rather have that than anything Taney.
