Like pretty much everything in life.. I grumble to myself a bit, and then chalk it up as a "lesson learned".
I'm new to this game as well, and have the reputation of being a "sponge" when it comes to learning. Every time out I learn something new, whether I'm catching fish or not. I've lost a few bigguns' this year so far, but each time I learn something.. I should have kept the rod tip higher, or I should have booked it down the shore to keep the fish from getting below me, or i should've re-tied that stupid knot!
Those few times where you manage to put all that together and land that hawg.. wow, what an experience!!
I've been at this since April, but man.. I'm 100% addicted! I love this game.

Awesome story man, thanks for sharing!

Birchy every time I look at your siggy photo it cracks me up.
I know! What I can't get over is how SEAMLESS that photochop is!

Nice! What a dank.
Like you said.. probably could've been handled better, but, sh*t happens to the best of us!

OMG!!
Seems like when people are truly naive.. they never get hurt!

Some cool shots CDock and I got last year heading out to - and on the Highwood:

I worked with a guy who went to Banff with his family and was taking pictures of the Elk and this large male with a killer rack was eating grass and would not look up for a photo so he went over to him and lifted his head for a pic
he had no clue of the danger he could have been in but he got his pick and went his way 
Serious? I don't believe you..

Crowsnest Angler sells them, just off highway 3 as you're going through the pass. I think it's Bellevue, at any rate, just off the highway on the north side, can't miss it.
Of course! Been there before and didn't even think of it! Thanks man!

I was kind of hoping to get it in Calgary before I left to avoid the PST. Oh well.

Fantastic throat-singing, ain't that the truth;
The secret, I think, is that one upper tooth!

Centered pupils = no stress or DEAD. This one was very alive.
Downturned pupils = stress.
OHHHHHH! NOW I get what you guys were saying about the centered pupils before!
Guess I better go back and check some of my pics..

Did you use fly rods??
No, spin rods. But fly rods this weekend.. with a slip bobber. I think it'll work like a charm.

Used my buddy CDock's 2 weight TFO Finesse on Kikomun Creek this weekend and loved it!
Until then I was wondering how the heck I was going to cast dry flies!
