Yeah I even called it out as you floated by and lowholed, then Joe delivered on his next cast or two.

It's ok, we need to let him get one every now and then...

Joe: Where the fukk you goin'?

Todd: I'm gonna row right in front of Ryley, and when they pull up their lines, toss in there and hook up...

Ryley: Thanks...now you'll probably get one.

Joe: Hey...fish on!



About as classic a lowhole technique I've ever seen

Fish on...

Todd

A friend who happens to be a rod manufacturer is always telling me, "If we wanted your hand up there, we would have put cork up there."

Being someone who SCUBA dives, i was a little apprehensive with the title of this thread. However, nice pics.

After nearly 30 years, I still haven't been bent while diving.


Would like to get bent repeatedly with this kind tho'....

Yeah, get bent!-

Nothing says BENT! like big fish!



I almost felt bad for Stamly as he was getting BENT by this fish. That's a BBR 966, by the way. BENT hard and put away wet!!!!





Four Benders!



Double Bending! Rails and rod belts are for wusses.

Money!!!

Some absolutely sick shots on this thread. Thanks for the pictorial motivation everyone.

Thrasher is seriously putting the wood to that king in his second photo.

Parker, my BBR966 has NEVER looked like that!

ChuckS, what is that in the second shot? Cabezon? That sure looks like a perfect day in the San Juans although I'm guessing it is well south of that location.

Birthday trip for pops last year



Breaking in the sage 2106 i never sold


First trip out for my buddy that just got done with a long season of Opilio Crabbin...



Net your own fish!!!!

Mean steelhead:

Bone, Rooster and Summerrun

guys, AWESOME!!! keep em coming.

sky-guy, that is a seriously sick shot of rvrfshr joe, mag material for sure.

My pic sharpness doesn't hold a hat to the great shots above but here are some of the buds from the last year or two do'in the bent rod thing.



I dig the boil on the one below....a pissed off nookie

I've even seen a woman put the heat on a fish...



Oh and here's a little wood being displayed as we tried to get our springer back..........





Memories, what life is made of.......

Oh and here's Parker, guess he pulled a little to hard on this king...



Keith

Funny, just as I opened this thread, my wife doing the bills, sez whats this charge from Batson, do you know who they are ?


Yes dear its fine.....

I got it high sticked er....bent just a little too much & finished off my fine RX 7 1143s.

Uncle Joe is getting some press off that shot, am I the only one to notice the line crease around the flank of that jumper ?


No fair if you lasso em rvr-cracker !!

Awesome pics !
I need a cigarette

Awesome thread Karry

That being said, I bet you are groaning over a few of these pictures....

"It broke fighting a fish, I swear!"

here's a couple of mine:

Some amazing shots throughout. A simple point of view.

Although not a great shot, one of my favorites as every picture tells a story. This is what you get when you row for five hours and listen to your two front seaters complain non-stop about a river devoid of fish. Karma, second cast...

Got a few, not the greatest rod arcing shots but they are all honest "fish on" pics. That last one of Sol Duc is a classic, ya don't mess w/ the man when he is into
a nice Skagit 3 salt.....

I REALLY need a waterproof digi w/ a wide-angle lens so bad .....
