I got a big one!!

[waco]

Today I went to a small stream for some wild fun and man what a day!!



I felt so lucky I was thinking that I should stop to get a lottery ticket!! Here is what I felt so lucky first cast fish on and landed this nice hatchery buck!!

Then after releasing it, I saw another fish cast again and fish on but lost it after the first run oh well! Kept going and I then I saw a good water cast at it first cast fish on!! Then jump and oh no! Fish off! Cast 3 more times and I got this little cutthroat trout! at first I thought it was a brown trout but nope!!!

Then I kept casting to see if I could get the steelhead I just lost but nope!! Kept going and there is another fish

So I kept going and man a bright hatchery hen next to a big native buck!! so I choose to try to get the buck!! So I got down because those fish were moving!! So I changed my leader and the hunting begins 3rd cast and I got it!! This fish was strong and it took me down stream!!



Look at the gird, my reel is 4 inches wide!

my biggest steelhead ever!! This fish was 39x 22!!
And I was hiking back to my car and I found I fly box I lost like 2 weeks ago!!:clap::dance:
