Sweet fish, way to start off the new year.

Very nice! She fished well for me on the last day of the year as well. That last one looks to be about 23-24in. Any idea?

Man that is one big fish, great job!

[Walshmiko]

Thanks guys, Sorry I didnt write to much. I really was out of it. E guy yeah I would say 23 24 would be dead on. (The net opening is 20in) I wish I got a picture of the other one though, it was smaller by a few inches but it was for sure the largest female I ever caught and she had some girth to her.. Even though I was alone, and it was cold and cloudy I had a good day..

Sorry about the pictures, its very hard taking then by yourself..(maybe its just me) If anyone has tips on taking pictures post them.

Tom is "very dangerous " with those nymphs!

Great job! What a spectacular fish. I got the text while I was at work. It was very upsetting to say the least I wish that I were there to get him some nice photos. He deserves it. He fishes a lot and is reaping the rewards of constant practice...

Sweet fish. Great job. I have a ton of tips for taking pictures by yourself, if you're interested, shoot me a pm.

[Esopus Guy]

That's always the way it goes. I did'nt have my net replacement yet on my last trip and said " eh'....I probably won't need it". Of course ended up really needing it. It's like They Know..............

Chris you should post your tips. Could help a more than a few of us I'm shure.

Well, I'm not saying I'm some sort of photography guru, or anything like that. I do feel like I capture a few great shots from time to time. The biggest issue with boring photos is angle. Maybe I'll make another post when I have some time.
