That comes from a river where when the trout get long they rarely get fat.

Status: offline 		First of all, love the fish. (a la Scorekeeper, haha)  Definitely one to put on the wall even if you are a C&R fisherman, its a once in a lifetime!  Or not, if you're lucky, I guess.

Anyway, seeing this thread inspired me to try for trout again in the local creeks and streams (normally I switch to bass and panfish around memorial day).  I was rewarded this evening by a beautiful 14" rainbow that was probably the brightest pink fish I've ever caught.  Anyone know why the impressive color?  It looks like this fish was exceptionally pink as well.  Is it a summer thing?

Status: offline 		Thanks for the explanation.  I really appreciated the color, as that trout just might be the most beautiful fish I've ever landed.  I'm so used to the silver stockies that it almost seemed fake, as if someone had put a stripe of hot pink nail polish down its side.  In any event, I figured if he survived this long in the warm July water, he deserved a fair chance at seeing the coldness return this fall, so he went back in.

I heard from a source(very reliable one) that the Troutwizard likes to piggyback the kids rodeos and then add them to his "portfolio". Keep in mind i'm not knocking anyones skills here, but after all its still a bucket fish.

Status: offline 		thats bull ,the biggest fish we put in was a 27 inch brown, and ya i do fish down there alot, and ive never killed a fish there, even numerous 20 inch paleminos and bows,but this fish wasnt even close to the butcher hole,about 3 mile away. so tell your "buddy" if hes got the marbles to say it to my face then do it since he obviously knows me, that fish was far from a pellet head u moron, there is 2 fish in the catch and release section bigger, and we only put in 1200 for the kids, ive helped evey stocking and donated money,so i know what fish have gone in that river, this was not one, .so if someone wants beef tell them to put up or shut up, its a damn fish, i try to share my nice catch and someone has to start stuff, total bull, u guys need to grow up, so as my last post , thanks to the guys that complimented me and to the rest, screw off!

Well, ya see...when he finally managed to land it, that huge fish jumped up and clamped its mighty jaw about his neck and refused to let go.  He had to get to an ER to have it surgically removed.  The stubborn fish sadly perished in the process, but it succeeded in making it extremely painful for troutwizard to smile, thus the badass expression in the pictures.

That IS how it happened...right?

Maybe he wanted to do it a favor?? Nice fish for July! I would say the head looks bigger from under feedin' & the poor water shed/feed/temp/stress/tail rot from poor water/acid for Trout & so forth.... Just look at a native or wild Brookie from around the State & they don't compare in beauty

Still a good catch though
