So much glorious fish porn in one thread. Love the shots, thanks for sharing. Those are some monster fish.

Those are just amazing pictures, it is hard placed to pic a favorite. The quality and action shots are unreal. Also I think the bottom hawk just had an itch or possibly it is a back massage, lets be honest humans do it too.

Wow that is wild, glad to hear you had some luck on your side with that.

Holy cow that bow river bow is thick. Great shots.

Ah yes, I remember my first fish on a streamer..... it looked nothing like that. I have since caught some on the streamer similar to that. Hell of a way to start out, I imagine that guy will be a streamer fan for life. Nice shot and fish.

Haha Nancy, right that is it. Thanks Uber.

A bit late but I too would say Fishtales, it is where I buy all my gear. I know that when I took my dad in to get a full setup, rod, reel, waders etc that Wendy(I believe) spent an hour or so helping him out and was spot on with all her recommendations. He loves the gear and has definitely been getting out a pile.

That is really impressive, nicely done. Imagine it is pretty rewarding when you catch a big fish to see how the drag system works and landing it on a reel you built.

A man get stopped by a game warden with his basket full of fish. Warden: do you have a permit for all these fish? Man: no sir. These are all my pet fish. Warden: your pet fish? How's that? Man: well, every night I take all my pet fish for a walk to the lake, I let them swim for about half hour and then I whistle and they all come back and jump in my basket and we go home. We do this every night. Warden: Well that's just a crock of lies!! Man: here I'll show you... (Releases the fish in the lake) Warden: well this I got to see!! 5 minutes later... Warden: well?? Man: what? Warden: the fish!! Where's your pet fish?? Man: what fish?? Enjoy and happy father's day to all the dads on here.

Great post.

Great blog entry again Pinkster.

Nice to see the increase in a presence.

I am running the same as Simon and have only used it a couple of days last year which was the first season I owned. It was great to cast and once I got used too the increased weight of the big streamers I was throwing I would even say I developed some accuracy with it. Ha, well as much accuracy as I have with my other rods.

Holy crap, some real slabs in those pictures. Thanks for sharing and glad to see you had a great time.

I would most definitely moon it. I feel that the glare would possibly blind the operator and cause it to crash.

Wow that Rainbow is a beast, the first picture doesn't quiet do it justice but you really get a great appreciation for the size in the second picture. Looks like a pretty awesome trip, thanks for sharing.

Wow Doc, setting the bar pretty high with that one.

Ha, love the topic.

Holy crap that is a pretty wild picture. Nice looking fish though, what's the risk of a little hypothermia for a nice fish?

Great pictures, the rack on the first buck is really impressive.

Ha, I didn't notice that. Good eye. I need to take you fishing with me so a bear won't be able to sneak up.

Ha yep, I am hopeful I can win the Ugly Sweater Contest. Granted not sure if sweater is the appropriate although ugly surely fits.

Thank you Doc, and the same to you. Also a little Christmas present, check out this amount of ugly.

Ha, Depth control devices that is great.

Oh ya, that's the fix. Thanks for sharing.
