I was standing around BS ing with a couple of Oreos, and having some whiskey, one hot afternoon. Our fishing buddy pulls up to give us a message that the girls called. He looks down into the tailout and sees this large fish. He says, I'm going to get that fish, grab your pole. He tries for 10 min and then I cast and fish on! This chrome summer hatchery buck jumps and then tears off downstream over the break to the next hole. I fought this fish for 20 minutes. I thought he was going to break off. My arm is really getting sore and I get some help landing him from one of the guys I was BS ing with. He gilled him and pulled his gill. The blood pumped out about 5 ft. I cleaned it and took a picture. I caught one that was larger a month later but it didn't put up as big a fight but I didn't take a picture.
