Roe, #4 hook and 10 lb. leader.

36.5 "   20" girth

1.5 ft. of water.

Got the line under a rock, had to run the boat upriver, unhook the line and then continue the fight back downstream.

can't believe you landed that on a #4, I found that it is really tough to get leverage with a #4, although when the water is that low I guess you may not have a choice.

I am pretty sure that pic is below the gun club.  while I don't know what the water is like on the stamp now, when I was there jan 3rd, the water was really low and only the zodiac could get above the bucket.  with minimal precip recently, I could see the bucket being impassable for murphy's heavier boats.

If that run is where I think it is, Kevin was sitting in it on Jan 2nd as we worked down stream with Sean.

It is below the gun club, around a couple of corners.

Is the boat perched on a rock there?

nice fish indeed. that is below the bucket, and yes, a lot of times they will drive the boat up against or just ontop of a rock to reduce current and give the boat a good resting place when still casting

Just below claybanks!  What a beauty fish! Once in a lifetime!  Thanks for sharing. It gives some hope in the seemingly hopeless winter over at the Stamp!

Fishing with Kevin on the stamp.
That guy is the best guide ever.
It is no wonder to see a fish like that on his boat.
Nice Fish!!!
