Thats a great story.
My biggest would have to be a 30ish pound king salmon out of the wallace river
My rod and reel, they comfort me.

My largest fish was a 120 lb sailfish,( the sailfish is my avatar) a 30 lb dolphin and quite a few 80 to 100 lb tarpon.
This is only because I lived in Florida for awhile.

I just started so the beautiful trout in my avatar is my biggest yet. Hooked her on the Yakima last Friday with my buddy.

I'm looking to fight a stealhead on my 6wt here soon :)
I like it when I can call it Catching!

Unfortunately no pic, but I just caught my biggest to date last week out of a little creek...a 21 inch 4.5 pound Brownie!! It was sweet!

Sorry no pic but I got a 17lb chum on the Quinault River this past fall with my new 8wt rainshadow I built. It worked very well and I hope to do some beach fishing out at Port Townsend...Point no Point.... Bush Point and my favorite, just up from the Keystone Ferry Dock at the park. I gotta start taking my brownie along on my trips! Have a great summer, Steve

Fly Fishing is the art of attaching a fake bug to a line and relying on the appropriate manipulation of the rod to deceive the fish into eating a sharp steel hook covered with feathers and fur.

My biggest thing on a fly rod would be the power lines in my back yard, after snagging them during practice casting. I just got my first fly combo, and i havent been able to fish with it yet. Once rivers and streams start opening up again i will have one on the fly as soon as possible!
