I don't see how that little lady could reel that freak nasty big brown in. Oh, and by the way, where's my Friday pin-up?

dude looks like he's trying to pass a stone.

[Jeremy]

Will never understand a guide holdng sport's fish. One of the things that gets on my nerves...

[A]

it surprises me when those big ones come out of this part of the country...i thought trout were strong up north...

[Styles P]

what a meat head.....the guide, and the fish

[Tom G.]

[Silver]

Tom,
So what's wrong with the largest conservation organization in North America? Pinhead...

[Zack]

awesome fish...though not even close to the 39" claimed on the website

[Tom G.]

Whats wrong! Nothings wrong with it, whats wrong is the moron advocating conservation with the shirt but killing the trophy trout! Pinhead o how witty art thou!

[Danny]

it says on the website they immediately released it. Relax everyone.

[Tom G.]

That would help if I read that..lol Woops!

[rathead]

interesting that the pic came from a flyshop on another river system 2 hours away and the fish was caught on a a live shiner.

And just about every resort at that end of the river is opposing the extension of the catch and release area.
