Dunked again

[Kfish]

Light gray muddler dunked in the water at first light. About 4th or 5th cast and a nice fish is on. Landed about 3, missed a couple more. Fishing was pretty good before the sun came out then it slowed way down.



Then came my biggest lake rainbow ever, heaviest at least and this is all I got to show for it. POTY (Photographer Of The Year) award goes to @jasmillo for this incredible capture.



You'll have to take my word for it, notice my left hand on what was the fish peduncle a split second before, and the distance between my 2 hands to support this behemoth.

Here a pic of said POTY shooting laser, as you can tell he's much better at this than shooting photos.

I’ll say this. It was 99% my fault, .5% your fault (handling skills) and .5% @Stonedfish fault for his damn nitrile gloves recommendations. Fish are really slippery when wearing those things .

That was a pig! Felt horrible I missed the shot. Digging this lake thing though. It’s just what my wife wanted, another fishing option for me, ha. A few from me today. @Kfish is a much better fish photographer than I and a really good stillwater fisherman!

Smedium rainbow..



Biggest of the day for me probably ~20 inches.



Another smedium bow…



Also stopped at a few beaches on the way home. No fish to be found at the first two. The last had fry and fish on them. Quickly hooked 3 and landed two before the wind picked up significantly and killed the bite. Nothing crazy. Both were like this guy…

Why does one ware gloves ? Nice TR though.

Folks use them In cold weather to keep their hands dry, which helps to keep their hands warm.

@Kfish - that lake also gave me one of my heaviest lake rainbows! Nice pic of your big fish. ;-)

@Kfish

I catch fish like your one pictured every trip out.

With all this flak your getting @Kfish, I decided to go back at check my pics one more time and realized I actually got the shot!! I can’t believe I didn’t realize this earlier…
