I was just curious what everyones current freshwater species trophy fish was, post pictures or stories or whatnot. Figured this topic is one of every fishermans favorite.

Nice dang Pike! This is my latest trophy size fish. I got it on the 5th. I caught three in an hour and a quarter and lost a big one. The smallest was 22 1/2'. This one is 29 3/8".

Fly was just a size 4 hook with about 7 inches of half red half black hair tied in. You can kinda see it in second picture

This isn't a real sought after gamefish, but it is the biggest Rock Bass I have ever seen.

Beautiful trout!!

I really miss hunting those browns. There are not any creeks with a population of trout that I can count on here. (Matsu Valley) The fish are on the move constantly. They follow the salmon up the rivers and creeks then they drop back to either the sea or the big rivers in the fall.

Down East I could count on finding fish when I went to the creek here it is a quest. I'm going out tomorrow to look for some rainbows in a local creek.

Nice trout pics....Here's a couple of my years trophies...

Of course every fish fooled by a fly you tied is a trophy...

My new halloween story is going to be the headless fly fisher of Utah. Tonight, right at dark, I got the twin to walleye I posted. I had just told my friend "This is my last cast". It was 29 1/4". Fought like a big sissy fish. I didn't think it was that big till I had it almost all the way in. I'll post a photo as soon as I get the film developed.

Heay! I resemble that remark! LOL

The fish mattered in the picture, not me! Plus I was having trouble holding it and making all sorts of weird faces, he he he.
Now that is SCARY!!!

I've gotta say, that is one heck of a fish Joni. Here are three fish I caught in the last few days. I really like the fall fishing here.

 

[Joni]

Love those EYES. Rarely see anything close to their size here if ever.
The Pike is very Kewl, or is that a Tiger?

Thing is, the face tells the story. The fish just sets the stage. Now get that photographer on the ball.
