11-8 on strawberry

[Majja]

I went up to Strawberry this morning and it was beatiful, calm and not to cold. No clue on the air temp but the water temp was a balmy 44 degrees. Hooked up a BIG cut as i was paddeling out, how ever i managed to let him go prematurly. I was fumbling for my net and when i finaly got it out i tagged the line and watched him flip next to my tube and wave good by. I than hooked up on 2 others, tha pulled real hard but they decided to let go a little early. All 3 were on a 4" white curley tail. Than it went cold, so i loaded the tube in the truck and went to the Ladders and did not catch anything there. I left at about 11 just before the wind came. All in all it was a good morning for me.

[cool]Hey majja, glad you got off the water before it got bad, like for those folks that (presumably) drowned yesterday up there. I always like hearing tales of "the one that got away," so tell me, how big would you estimate that bruiser to be that flipped you the bird at your tube?

My gues would be about 24" Granted i have nto spen much time in the tube but have never been turned by a fish either until yesterday. Damn he was pretty. He would of been pretty her in a photo though.
