Happy Belated Fourth of July!!! I know it's a little late but we have been having way too much fun! This year we ventured to good Ol' Flaming Gorge for some camping and boating fun. Our friends Stacie and John own and run a marina on the gorge. Last year was our first year up there and we loved it so much we came back again this year. Last year our friend Phil taught me to catch fish, Bass, so this year I bought my own rod and tackle. Although the bass we catch are too small to eat it is still fun to catch and release. This year though we caught a few rainbow trout that were oh so yummy!!! I've totally turned into a fisher woman. Nick kept laughing at me because all I wanted to do was relax and fish. One evening we got our friend John to take out on his fishing boat, he had down riggers and poles galore. Anyway below our a few pic's of the fruits of his and our labors!!
This is me reeling a big one just look at the bend in the pole. My forearm muscles were burning sooo bad. He was strong and we all thought for sure he was at least 5-10lbs. We were all screaming and cheering I just kept reeling and reeling it took what felt like FOREVER!!!
I've almost got him, keep reeling, keep reeling!!!!
WHOA! THAT'S NO TEN POUND FISH!!!!! HE'S MORE LIKE.....
TWENTY FIVE POUNDS!!!!!!
Thanks to John and all those on the boat cheering and screaming this moment was made possible. I have never in my life caught a fish this big!!! What a beautiful trout!!! We were nice and set him free! He had survived this long we just couldn't eat or mount him.
