Caught a whopper yesterday!

Anyone can catch a big fish. It takes a special kind of skill to catch a small fish. (Their mouths are smaller = smaller target)
I've caught trout in three states this year so far, Arkansas, Colorado and New Mexico. Hopefully I'll add Oklahoma this summer.

what kind of trout is that?

Cut throat. Here is its big brother/sister.

Speaking of little fish, this is my first tournament win and prize which catapulted me into the professional ranks.

Fly fishing ranks up there with upland bird hunting for me. If you really want to try something unique look up tenkara fishing!

Hmm. Never thought to catch bait before with a rod and reel.

Some of the pics look more like minnows for bass.

Countdown Rapala on spinning rod 10ft upstream of a shoal below the bridge, I was actually trying for some big northern pike hanging above the shoal and got this nice brownie.
There are some 30" + Pike in the Rio Grande around there.
