Life of the Party
It's been a busy spring. I live right on the river and walk it everyday with my dogs, but with the weird weather, the wind and 'responsibilities', I just haven't been able to get out. Last night we had take out, so no dishes for me to do. I looked at my wife and said, I'm going fishing. It was around 8:00, and she said "I will allow it". Slipped into the garage, donned my waders and vest, grabbed my 5 wt. and walked down my freshly mowed path through my field to the river. Five minutes in, and I got this one. We fought for longer than I expected. She wasn't an easy model to work with, so the poses were difficult. She was just shy of 17", but heavy. I let her go, made a couple more casts, and caught another, but typical football. The light was going, so I called it quits. I might just have to go out again.
