70 lb halibut off the couch hole on paluxy river.

First bass on the fly rod. Third time fly fishing.
Caught on Lake Pagosa in Pagosa Springs, Colorado last week on a Olive Woolly Bugger. What a fight! Felt like a whale....I think I'm addicted to fly fishing now!

when does the halibut run start up the Paluxy?

first full moon in June

jboy wasn't that the day you and Old Al caught that 65lb pike on that 1-wt rod of Al's?

Caught a 28-30" trout at the south platte last year. Didn't get a weight. Phone was dead, no pics. Fight took an hour on a 5wt.

Sure was! Learned how to make stone soup that trip to.

17 pound common carp on 8# tippet.

Wow! That has to be a blast! I've caught some 15-18 inch carp on the fly and it rocked! Can't imagine a big guy like that one! Nice job!

Thank you sir. All I can tell you is that I hand my hands full. Twice I was down to about three or for turns of backing left on the reel.

Bass 7# trout around 10# carp and buffalo around6# hybrid 9# stiper 12# I have to say the hybrid was the biggest fight by a long shot they are just plain mean.

Robbie, where's that 10# trout from? I agree on that hybrid, hardest fight ever.

The white river on the taney como caught another close to that on the frying pan in the toilet bowl. You will have to make a Taney run with me this fall.

that's not in texas is it? great looking water.

I think everybody goes thru three phases fishing;
1. you want to catch all the fish you can; lots of fish
2. You want to catch a trophy fish; the biggest ever!
3. you just want to go and have a little fun; catch a few; relax, TAKE IT EASY!
I've been thru 1 and 2; and now I am into #3; don't want to catch a lot; don't want to catch the biggest; just wanna do a little fishin. Ya'll will get there but it'll be awhile. Some of the old codgers on here know what I mean(and no disrespect about #1 or #2)-p-
