Look at his face! He is demon spawn!!!
A damn fine specimen, the likes of which I will encounter someday!

Wow! very nice.

Do you guys remember those stickers of the
BAD BOY club with the spiked hair. Same guy just older and shorter hair, Park do you have bad boy tatooed on your bicep?
Nice Fish!
Joe

Nice fish, bud. My only hope is that you realize the true meaning of how majestic and magnificent that fish is.

I need to step away from the board for a period of time. I said some things about Parker, true or not, that I'm not particularly proud of. I'm human, I'm an asshole, we've spoken on the phone and we are going to try and put this one behind us.

I don't know....if I had to look at that mug for a week I'd probably say some things too.

i dont like to be nit picky or a nay sayer and its not like I havent done it and maybe I missed where you caught it but......is that fish supposed to be out of the water ?????

Legal where he was fishing.

Nice fish.

THE WATER IS BOILING ALL AROUND HIM! THATS ONE GREAT BEAST OF A FISH.

Thanks everyone!

I was so spent and exhausted after that fish that I could barley tail it, let alone get the mid-section of the fish up for the photo - hence the grimmace on the photo.

I flat out just quit fishing for the day after that fish. I was spent. Done. Shaking like it was my first ever steelhead. Talking a mile a minute to Bob, who was laughing the whole time.

Wish I had a great story to tell like Salmonella, but I do not. The fish fought really hard and flat out abused me on the spey rod (hence the "this is gay" comments I made on video). I tried everything in my power to lose the fish, but could not. I had no feel for what a 12 pound tipped could or could not do on a 14' spey rod.

The fish eventually left it's little pool and made a run down the heavy water with me in running on water in tow. Fortunately, I was able to coax him over to the shallows where Bob helped in landing it, as there was no way I was going to muscle that fish all the way to the beach on it's side.

Regardless of what was said on the board earlier, that trip was by far the best fishing trip I've been on and I can only thank the other 3 guys for putting up with my crap. I'm overly-competitive when it comes to fishing and it rubbed off on my fishing partners for the week. They were up for the experience, in their sacred waters, I was not . I don't think they will ever truly forgive me, but at least I walked away from this experience seeing myself in a different light - a light I will work hard on to change.

We can all be a horses ass sometimes. Just wish someone would have pointed that horses ass out to me earlier.....


Probably will never get invited back up there again, but at least I have some awesome memories.

Not me. I'm pure as the driven snow.

I didn't want to talk to you in person during the trip because I have a tendancy to let my emotions escalate in a verbal confrontation and I did not want to ruin the trip for everyone. That said, I should not have let you push my button on the board and react the way I did. But that's me, spontanious and forthright. What I should have done is send my thoughts via email. My mistake.

What do you say we hook-up before to long and wipe this one off the books, bro? And next time you piss me off I'll just tell you to go fuc% yourself instead of bottling it up.

We should probably stick with day trips for awhile, though.

Aw, come on, Parker. Just make up a story that even Big Stick would be proud of.

Now what's this sh!t you said about friends don't let friends fly fish for steelhead?

I'm glad you guys all kissed and made up.
Here's to big fish in everyone's future.

Ahhh...Group Hug!

Great pics and stories guys...

You guys did talk about spooning up there.Did you take turns being in back?

Honestly I think we make the three stooges look like a foursome....
Some pretty funny shiznit up there if I do say so myself! Good times fellas.

I think I saw Sol and Stam spooning once. You should have seen the cubby hole that Sol wanted me to sleep in.... I would not have been able to sleep on my side...
He reluctantly allowed me to sleep in the table area, in the biggest bed in the camper!!! :p

Im surprised there were no casualties. Three or four A types all liquored up...Oy yoy yoy...Betty Fords running a 33% off special for groups of 2 or more. Just a thought.

Wow! JK finally said something that didn't piss me off and made me laugh.
