One Beautiful Fish!!!

I saw this photo in the gallery and since the uploader did not post it on the board, I figured I would (I apologize if I stepping over the line).

This has to be one of the brightest/chromest (is that a word) big big buck I have ever seen!!

What an incredible fish...

Cover photo-quality. Beeeeyuuuuutiful.

and look what is hangin out of its mouth!

This fish was caught on the Hoh on 2/9/02 by John Knudsen. One of ten we hooked that day and by far the largest. We did not get any measurements before we released it, but it was easily eighteen to twenty pounds. We'll be heading back out to the coast soon for some more encounters with fish like this.

B Mac,
That is a nice fish,
John never mentioned you guys knew eachother..

Hey Tony! How's it going! John tracked me down on the Carbon earlier this year. I've been workin swingshift so we've spent some days together pounding the local waters. This trip to the Hoh was pretty good, and this fish was the highlight. Can't wait to get back out there. Hope things are well with you and your family

Thanks Brian, things are well with all of us, hope your family is doing good also.
I don`t see much of John since he got stuck on 2nd shift, I`m usually going out when he`s coming in..But maybe someday we`ll fish together again...

Thats the 20 lber. That is a beautifull fish!
