The pics do not do this fish justice! 37 inches long and 23 1/2 pounds!

It's as big as my leg!

:cool:
 
Aww man! Where's the side shot? 37" should put that in the 20# class! That'll feed 10 people or 2 Alaskans.

Salute', TB.

It is! I didn't really get a side shot. Too busy! It was the biggest fish anyone caught the whole time we were there! W I D E too! The littl pull scale said 23 and a half pounds and we used a tape measure on it, 37 even across and 13 at the widest from spine to belly. I might get a cast mount made.
 
That is sensational mate...Congrats. I've never done the whole fly fishing (i presume this is what you were doing???)

I bet you couldn't get the smile off your face....:)
 
Fished that water before for silvers but it was late and slow. Lots of Dollie's though. Buskin is great home water I think. Dig it while you can!

Salute', TB.

Why is the fish bleeding ? Did you hurt it, better watch out for PETA. Nice catch

PETA is all cool and the gang with cutting the gills and bleeding the fish. What they really don't like is giving the fish a wood shampoo.

Salute', TB.
