Buena Vista has been good this year. There have been reports of other people catching DD's, but not me, until today!

It was a cold and foggy start to the day. We arrived at the gates at 6am, while the line was dwindeling down. There were a couple of spots that we wanted to try, but since we did'nt bring our lantern, we were forced to pick a spot close to the car.

It was a slow start for monkey and I. There were a couple other cars in our area, but no one was catching anything. Once the fog lifted, fishing kinda got better. We were throwing everything from powerbait to lures, but nothing.

Around 10, we moved to a different spot and that proved to the place. Right off the back, I lost one close to the shore (better than no bites). After a couple of minutes I hooked into the biggest trout I have ever caught. I was using a 5'4'' Ultralight rod and 4 lb test. I did'nt take as long to bring in as I thought it would of. Monkey netted the fish and I was a happy camper. I was really happy that Monkey was there to see the fish, as well as get to net the monster.

18 lbs 4 ounces
27'' Long and 22'' in Girth

I had a big Kool-aid smile!

After getting home, I weighed the fish and it came in at 18 lbs 4 ounces. It was about time that my DD came through; I was getting tired of seeing everyone else catch the biggens.

That's a big head!!! WTG Skaguy!! That was my chase this year. I'm glad it finally paid off for you. This is definately a day to celebrate with beer and good fish. I also see that you keep the grout on your tiles pretty clean by the sink, very sanitary of you.

Great fish! That has got to be the best looking 18lb CA trout I have ever seen. It actually has fins. Congrats on your hard work paying off!

Still waiting to catch my DD. Congrats on catching yours. I remember when I caught my 7# and was so excited and when I fought my 8.12# with everyone watching as it went between boats, under the dock several times, doing acrobats behind me each time, thinking I would lose it every time and finally bringing it to net. It is always nice to best yourself. :Cool:

CONGRATULATIONS!
