Hiro and I went to see about bringin home a little coin…
Yes it’s trout….but there was a good chunk of change available..
So we went fished it hard…
Met a few Fnn’rs out there (6 or 7), sorry I cannot remember your names but great meeting you and thanks for the use of the net to the 2 fellows fishing next to us : )
It was quite the mad house out there with what I am guessing was well over 1000 people out on the water..
The top ten single biggest fish took home money : )
Started off strong but the bite hit a wall just before 9am.
Fortunately the bite didn’t shut off before I could get into the running and on the board.
Ended up landing a 5th place win and took a nice lil’ check for $415.00.
2lb test and a 1/12th ounce silver and blue Kastmaster was her demise : )
Helluva’ a nice battle on that light line !
Super bendo !
Almost lost the fish as it wuz peeling drag heading for the dock pilings : (
Glad my line didn’t contact that cement otherwise it would have been OVER !
BUT I managed to work her back to the open water and Hiro did the net job for me…
Whew…glad I didn’t lose it on that light line…

I need to do some front end work on my truck so it came at a great time so I can do repairs from the winnings : )
Good times….good times…
Sorry I didn’t take a better picture earlier (pic of fish taken at end of day) but I kept fishing real hard and didn’t want to stop for pics till later.
the fish had a pretty full tail so it was a great battler..
Salute,
Gary
