Took Sparky for a little training to my spot on the river yesterday, mid afternoon and when we finished, visted with the land owner a while and then decided to do a little fishing at one of my favorite holes for a short time before heading home. Caught a few nice whites and small trout and then tied into a giant. He only measured 22" (have caught several this year), but I think this is close to the biggest/heavyest trout I've ever caught!!! His body was the thickest body I've ever seen on a trout. I was so anxious to get him back in the water so he could have the best chance of surviving I didn't realy examine him close. Hurriedly broke a stick for later measurement and rushed him back in. In reflection, don't even know if he was a brown or what. From memory, he was dark, black spots, brillant dark red/yellow sides and bottom. Doesn't make sense when I think back on it so I may be remembering inaccurately but he was big, hook jawed, dark colors and just beautiful. Which I had a camera with me.
That river has continuously treated me well and I hope it continues! It not only beautiful, but has an abundance of wild life, eagles, ducks, etc, and even some rather unfriendly moose. LOL
