Nice fish, they call that one the 8lb'er? I think I must have gone over 8lbs at Bullshead a few times then, who knows I gotta get out there someday... B Charles said he'd hook me up

"you know when you hit that last shot over the green .... I told you you should have used a wedge and not your 9 iron!!!!"

Looks like a certain high mountain lake I love. Sometimes that happens very often Great photo captures!

Korban, everything you decide to take up as a hobby, do you do it extremely well. Great shots.

Crap. My wife reads books. Does this mean I'll never win an arguement... ever??... I mean... isn't every man's goal in life to win just ONE disagreement with the wife?

Cancelled Vacation that you have been planning for months = Find a new dang job when you get back Enjoy your holidays man!

Congrats! Here's tipping a glass to many more to come *tips glass*

Trev! Nice fish man I remember that fish well. It was sitting in about 2ft of water behind a small island. We played it downstream about 500 yards or more. That shot was taken on your camera I think... wasn't it?

Great fish. I love those colors!

It can be done I know the whereabouts of at LEAST one such fish...

Bow - to accompant TM in the team landing of the "locomotive" (probably easily a 30+ brown) Mountain streams - to make some time to fish my favorite rewaches of the Oldman again this year.. Stillwaters - would like to chase some Lakers on the fly rod... looks like early spring 2008 will be my first shot at it. I'm addicted to Lakers lately. Other - Gonna do it this fall. My dream is to fish the steelie runs in BC. I'll be on the Skeena / Bulkley / Babine in early Oct!

congrats on the new fishing partner. he needs no rattle - just put a 2wt in those hands of his!

and i like the hat and t-shirt for sure.

Rofl... I don't know you, but you've abvoiusly fished with some of the same crowd as I have if you have to put that comment in at the end... We're a bunch of pigs

Thanks guys... the big laker was a ton of fun. 20+ minutes of pumping and reeling to surface that tank TM... maybe end of week. Leaving on a california run Monday.. gotta pay the bills for this danged vacation somehow.. and save up for our upcoming steelie trip I'll be in calgary area either friday / sat - or monday'ish. Cya then

Went out with my boss on Flathead Lake (montana, by Kalispell). We chartered a boat for lakers, and I ended up with a 17lb, 37 inch trophy... released to fight another day. We then got a couple smaller ones, which we kept for the BBQ.. and wow they are delicious! The ones we kept were 8 and 7 pounders. Those were sitting at 50-60ft, while the big one was taken from 120ft. We did go after some lake whites, and for the one hour we spent on those, I think I had the best non-stop fishing action of my life. They were at a spot in 50ft of water, and we jigged for them. As soon as you got your hook to the bottom and gave it a jig, you had a take. Insane. One hour = 50 fish landed. We did keep some lake whites too, and there also very tasty (much to my suprise). The at the dock at Blaine Lake, the kids actually (finally) caught there first fish... ain't sunfish great? There like perch but more numerous (and MUCH easier to catch).. Kailey... and Megan... and we had a riot catching those sunfish. There must have been schools of 200-300 under the dock. All under 6 inches, but who cares

'nuff said

That's just wrong. The "odd" 20 incher? That place just 2 years ago was full of 23+ inchers. Too many stocked or too many bonked? whatddya think?

Sweeeeeeeeeet

Darn good looking fish Ben

That's not an indicator I see is it? On a mountain stream? SHAME ON YOU!!! Nice pics............

about 20 years with fly rod. 30+ with all methods I started when I was about 3 with a mickey mouse bait rod I'm sure *gasp*

MmmmmmmmmmmMMMMMMMMMMM [homer voice] Froooosty

A day or two on the Crowsnest river is never a bad idea as well. Also (god forbid me saying this) the Elk and Michel in BC aren't far either and are worth checking out if you can afford the licenses.

That made me laugh...
