We got a 20-something chrome beast on Feb 23 a few years back.
"Out of season" fish are always the most fun, aren't they?
Seems like they're always the big ones, too.
Last year (I think it was last year), we botched a net-job (I hate it when that happens) on a massive summer in late March. Got it to the boat, and the monster chrome was missing a fin. Thing had to be at least 15 lbs. And it lived to fight another day.
I've hooked a springer in late March on a coastal trib, too.
Because I'm pretty sure fish don't own calendars.
