I don't think I can top this one guys

So I decided to go and fish the farmington today (saturday) and see if the hendricksons would come off. I started the day euro-nymphing and did pretty well, but as things picked up I switched over to my cane rod and dries (I coulden't resist too many rising fish!) My dad and I then decided to take a ride by black bridge, why I don't know I never really fish down there. But when we got there I decided to go downstream and walk the bank a bit, while I was walking I noticed a gigantic rainbow in the water so naturally I had to go for him.





It was a measured 26" but fatter than hell. I landed him with a 7' 5wt cane rod, varivas 5X and a vladi worm. An absolute pig, I showed this pic off a lot today as you could imagine and everyone agreed that it was a 10lb+ fish.

needless to say I'm pretty dam happy!

Nice going Kyle - and good for you exploring some new water. Sometimes it really pays off.

Great job Kyle. Awsome fish lucky he didn't blow up your cane rod.

Holy Cow, or pig. Congrats! I don't I am going to post a picture ever again.

Kyle: What are you talking about? OF COURSE, you are going to top that fish! Nice going. Sight fishing to a breeder takes a lot of accurate casting skill.

Thanks everybody, It was really tough landing that fish, my net was way too small so my dad actually tailed it. Now I know why you guys carry around those huge brodin nets! I think I better get one too now lol just in case
