My most memorable C&R fish for 2017 was this platinum hen that I caught backbouncing one of my signature Kenai hangback amputee rigs tied with a Gamakatsu CIRCLE HOOK. Hangback "flossed" ala Doc in classic outside-in fashion to eliminate the risk of a mortal hooking wound. Kudos to ColeyG for not only skillfully rowing me into but also digitally documenting my encounter with this stunning fish.
