[cool][#0000ff]Good report. Glad the wind let you get in some fishing.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]That is a purty brown trout. But, I gotta warn ya that you are likely to catch a lot of grief for taking the picture with your fingers in the gills. Many of us know that holding the gill flap is a good way to control large fish, and does not injure the gill filaments. But, there are some members who only post to criticize others who LOOK LIKE they are sticking their fingers in the gills.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]For future reference, try holding the fish differently. Even a lip gripper on the lower jaw looks better.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]Congrats again on a great fish and we hope you are able to get a return match when it has grown a bit.[/#0000ff]
