My wife gave me a trip to the Ozarks for my birthday, and its been super awesome. Caught the biggest trout of my life at Ackerman yesterday on a #6 olive woolly bugger with rubber legs. It put up an epic battle,  and i wasn't sure i was gonna get it in. Lol. My wife took a few pics, and then it swam away strong. Incredible experience.

That photo looks like the fish is making an escape!  Nice one, really pretty.
