Great morning on some water that I had never fished before, I wont say where but I will say that I will definitely be spending more time there in the future.
Went 3/6 from 7 till 10: 30 in water that was pretty much milk. Big honkin roe bags were the trick for the first monster female. I didnt get a picture with me holding it (solo mission) but its my PB hen, pushing 12 pounds for sure an absolute slob of a fish.
Hard to judge size from the pic but keep in mind that my pin is 5", and the fish makes it look like a cheerio.
That was by far the strongest fight I have ever had from a steelie, I was fishing withing 500m of the lake and the fish were FRESH out of the big water. Really wish I had a pic of me showing how monsterous the fish really was.
After that I lost three straight ah well it happens when you are using gigantic bags and tiny hook.
Next up was a nice fish that inhaled one of my jigs tipped with a pinky
For size reference, this fish ( a solid lake O fish) was completely dwarfed by the first one. Made a respectable fish look silly.
Didnt get a picture of the last one but it also fell to a jig and was between the size of the first two. Its tough to get a picture up to your waist in fast water. Nothing small in the river today.
...and I apologise to team 2, forgot my sign and measuring tape today. I wasnt really expecting this kind of fishing but dont worry I have lots of trout left in me!
