I am glad you got the gist of it through my poor grammar and spelling ; )<BR/><BR/>Todd - I am honored that you commented on my blog! It's been a rush, and a great ride. The fish was brilliant, I couldn't have asked for anything more. I wish you well.<BR/><BR/>Anonymous2 - There is more to the story.

A formula developed by tests fly fisherman magazine ran in may 2008 say it is closer to 16.1 pounds.<BR/><BR/>Due to the fact the girth is pretty much the same for most of the fish, I would go for 16 pounds.<BR/><BR/>In any case, a great looking fish Bryan.

I believe I yelled "help" out loud : )" <BR/><BR/>I think it's so great that unexpected big fish can still inspire just a twinge of primordial fear in us. I once hooked a big fresh Chinook while backpacking on a remote Northern California creek. When it flew past me downstream my first though was "whoa, i better get out of the water!" Beautiful encounters of fish and men.

I hope you get a big poster of that photo for your favorite room. I hooked a 30 incher once but with 6x tippet on a #16 dry who would have thunk it. I knew I was dead in the water as soon as I saw the fish porpoise. Bad attitude? Probably! But to land it, meant killing it and I knew it...so off he went. It was thrilling, just the same and for once I had a witness. You have done what very few will ever do. AWESOME!! I am in total awe. <BR/><BR/>Love your blog by the way.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
