NICE FISH!
I can relate to the history/story. It took me years and hundreds of fish to land the 20+. My fishing buddies started calling me "Agent 19". I caught my first( non-assisted, old school drift fishing) steelhead at 12 years old, after a few hundred more, and many in the 18-19.5 range, finally got the 20+ landed year before last (I'm in my late 40's now).
The first is always the most difficult!
Congrats!!!!!

Huntar, you have done much better than me on the magnum fish, I haven't had anywhere near that many + sized toads.

My only other over 15 for sure fish was a dark buck off the upper Hump back in 1992/93. In retrospect & looking at the picture of it laying next to my IMX 1025 I'm thinking it was in the 17-18 lb. class.


Re-measured the mono we used to get a length & girth.



37.25 X 20.5 = 20.199


Just made it. cool

Congrats on your first! It's the toughest one to catch. The rest will be icing on the cake!

Right on guys.

What a perfect specimen Brad. Truly a fantastic and very special fish. Very cool story and perspective to go along with it.

Big congrats to you and the team. Well earned and I am sure much appreciated!

Thanks for sharing.

20 is just a made up attribute. Don't sweat it. Go for quality, and that fish looked to have QUALITY in abundance. Nice catch!
