Best Large Fish Pictures

[completehatch]

I want to see fish that were caught recently (within the last month) and know where you caught them, and what you caught them on.

That was in April, on the Housatonic River in Connecticut, on the March Brown.

Caught in creek that runs through a pasture on some family owned farm land on a nasty looking craw. Not the biggest I've caught out of there but one of the few that I have a decent picture of.

30 plus inch brown hen about a three weeks ago, lake in northern AZ, on a Lenny's Special Lite.

Here's a 22.5 incher i caught the next day, same lake, on a moorish pink foam hopper.

This 22 plus I actually caught about 7 weeks ago, but I just like the look of him, so I thought I'd post it.

Great looking Red A.J. ! Did you get him from the beach?

 

[Didgeridoo]

Lol. Thanks guys. I enjoy catching big fish and I choose where I fish wisely to best my chances. =) I'm not a numbers guy. I don't want to catch a hundred 20" rainbows. I'd rather catch one 28". But that's just me.

Thanks again guys. Some great fish on here! Rich those browns are awesome!!!

I must concur that Nick seems to have a way with the fish thing. No big fish for me yet this year but there's always tomorrow Very few are photoed and fewer measured but they sometimes happen. I'm thinking on a new camera, a little point & shoot so that maybe I'll get some quick shots before they're gone.......... as for the "where I got them" part I always seem to come up short on that part of the story

Great fish from all,

Ard

Best part about this fish is it was caught on a 2/0 Bunker Fly, on boat with 3 bait fishermen. The "magic wand" jokes stopped right after I landed her.
