First big bow

Well as the title says, i got my first big rainbow trout the other day, fish with a couple buddies of mine on a local lake, caught alot but this was the biggest, and lucky me it was mine :) the scale told me 5.2 pounds, thought i think it could be off a bit, however the scale dont matter to me, it was a good experience and an even better feeling :)

Nice looking fish and many of us wish that we could catch one that was even half that size.

Ok young feller it's time for your edication to start

. Never, and I do mean never tell someone on an open board where your spot is

. Thesw goofs and especially the close ones will home in on that spot like Ravens on lambs

. You could pm the information or better yet invite the person over[99.9% of the time they'll pass on the invite and the other0.1% you can lie your way out of it

]. Thanks for the great tip though

There are Texans and yuppies who would pay 10K to catch a fish like that, especially on a fly rod. You don't know how good you got it! And that's good.

Thanks for the pic. Enjoy what the country around you offers. It sounds like you are.
