Myself, my wife and troutslayer47 decided to spend friday and saturday at strawyberry. Headed out bright and early friday morning. Fishing was pretty slow where we were at.Used a verity of stuff but the fish were being finicky. We did catch fish but it took alot of teasing. Around 11:30 I heard troutslayer yell head shaker so I grabbed my lip grips and ran over to his hole. The fish was doing the old circling the hole trying to break the line trick that big ones do. After about 10 minute this huge head came up in the hole and I locked the lip grips over its bottom lip and dragged it out of the hole. We both let out a holler when we saw how big it was. 26" cut that was around 7 lbs. Fattest cut I've seen come out of strawberry. Was around 6" thick. We ended up catching around 7 or 8 friday.
Headed out bright and early saturday morning to a different spot. Couldn't have been a better day weather wise. Fishing was a lot better there. Between 6 of us caught around 25 fish.

Sounds like this ain't your first rodeo! Nice fish - guess ya gotta have the right kind of patience to land a beast like that. Nicely done! Enjoy your success - always good beating that next personal best!!!
Thanks for sharing - that's a pretty fish - though I don't think I'd wanna stick a finger in that mouth w/o a glove!

My wife had a monster brown on last year at Hyrum but we lost it at the hole. That's when I decided to get some lip grips.We would have had that one.

Well done. We had one on a few weeks ago that did the circle dance and busted off. Good to see someone get a good one through the hole.
