DonAndersen Posted August 19, 2008 Posted August 19, 2008 Guys/Gals, When I was on Stauffer last week, a friend missed one of 2 trout that were rising so I suggested that we sit on the bank and see if #2 comes up again. A large female of over 23" ambled over to see what we were up to. She was less than 3' from my boots. After checking us out, she slowing ambled her way back to the other bank. And I saw 2 cutthroat fighting 3 days ago. They were evenly matched. Around and around they went. Biting each others tails and fins. One even got a hold of the others jaw and gave it a good twist. All of this took over a minute. Fumbled for camera in each case. I need a quick draw camera. catch ya' Don Quote

She probably recognized you from a previous encounter.... Quote
Conor Posted August 20, 2008 Posted August 20, 2008 Very cool. I'd love to see that. I once saw two young male antelope chase each other around at ridiculous speeds for about 5-10 minutes. A couple minutes would pass and somehow the chaser would be the chasee. Back and forth. Quote

A couple minutes would pass and somehow the chaser would be the chasee. Back and forth. I've seen similar things on the Bow recently. I suppose it was larger trout chasing chasing a smaller one into the shallows, with a short battle to follow. Pretty cool to see. Quote

Well if it was that 2 mouthed goldeye it would have had a hell of an advantage in that fight Quote
