Hard to say which was my coolest catch. My largest peacock bass, or this scotch double on peacock bass while fishing topwater.

Got this hatchery buck quite a few years ago. Roger D named him “big red”. Don’t think I’d keep one this dark nowadays. Biggest or second biggest hatchery steelhead I’ve caught. 35 1/4 inches, did not weigh
it. Long arming a bit



Another pic. For Dana if you’re out there. Who is she

I got this one on the John Day River. It was the last fishing trip I took with my dad.

This is the last salmon I caught before retiring from the ocean. Nice chinook on a pink hoochie out of Newport. The catch of my life is my first mate. We have been fishing together for over 50 years. Going to find a picture of her big chinook.

I have been lucky enough to have caught many fish much larger than this Lahontan Cutthroat, but this fellas is arguably the most beautiful.

Mrs. Irishrover with a big chinook she landed in 2004 at Bouy 10. Largest chinook she has landed and that fish was all over the river. We were fishing near bouy 29. Whole herring for bait. Had to give her some help holding the fish for the photo.

Down at Prineville 2 years ago, we got ourselves 450 crappie within an evenings and mornings worth of fishing. Don’t know if we’ll ever pass this number ever again

My first trip to the Wilson, and my first Kings. Was with Tanner that day, a long time ago.

Does anyone else think fish caught while angling with Tanner should be disqualified from the photo contest? Fishing with Tanner can be a little like cheating
