Congrats on a great fish!
Now for the important stuff, what camera? what raincoat? did you wet your hands before or after you put them in the water? what tackle bag/vest? what hook? what hat? what kind of car did you drive to the river? are you a member of cca? did you catch your first 20 lb fish when you 7..or 8 years old? are you a member of the wsc? what boat is "simply the best?" did you have your license in possession? what waders? what wading shoes? upriver presentation...or down? a double spey cast, or one of the other multitude of named casts that are currently available?..
....I need to know, I want a thirty pound fish too.
I'll answer for Dave, since I was there with FogDucker and we saw it. But Dave didn't see us.
(Dave, please forgive me 8^) )
The camera was a Nokon D90, engineered to unleash the artistry.
The raincoat was a Samm's 1120-D-30-S, bioengineered to allow all bad vapours away while protecting the spleen.
The hands were washed before and after with banana scented Joy, and dried with a special anise scented rag. Special No-nitri-lat-non allergenic gloves were used.
The vest was a Columloomiredimms D180 Special Professional Steelheader vest.
He doesn't know the hook.
He wasn't wearing a hat since it wasn't raining.
Datsun 210.
Willie!
