Thanks Fitz�, J-Moe, Banker, and gar1970. I am kind of proud, not necessarily about the fish but mostly that I learned how to post pictures from my phone. Of course I had to get some tutoring from banker, bless his heart.

Nice Rio Catyakker and congratulations on another record fish! You,Banker,and J-Moe are knocking out the records. Keep up the GREAT fishing. Side Note: Is that "Wacky Worm" fly a sinking fly? Also have you used Black/Yellow combinations on the Rios?

Great Rio!
I would trade any of the +/-10" greenies or bluegills that I have caught over the years for a Rio.

Thanks again folks. Laker, the rubber worm (wacky worm) I use, is a 1" long and sinks very slowly. Often the fish hit it just as it touches the water. Sometimes I tie a couple of hook length strips of .025 lead wire when fishing deeper water. I've used Black/Yellow combinations on wholly buggers, and dragon flys and at times, I have done real well. I just like watching my fly line twitch when using slow sinking rubber flys.
