Dec 2 around 1990 15 lb hatchery buck Peach Rd....the reason I remember it so well was that a german tourist watched me land it and wanted a picture taken of himself holding it. So I took a pic of him while it was bleeding all over his pants..his wife was furious...but he had a big smile on his face..I guess that why we call them smileys

I'm a late bloomer...earliest fish caught was January 31.

So much so that I don't even bother heading out before the end of January.
Much too cold.

It never hurts to take a few weeks off fishing to reorganize.

Earliest hooked Dec 18, 24, 25, 26, 29, 30 and 31. But due to freezing conditions and luck, I wasnt so lucky on all of them.  I know a buddy who landed one the first week of december last year.
I dont usually start the hunt till mid december, and always part take in the holiday gong show around christmas.  :P

Hooked one in my first 30 minutes on Jan 1st 2011, lost it just in front of me. Have gone about 24+ hours without so much as a SNIFF. Still looking for my first Vedder Steelhead...

Your efix data is Completly wrong. I use a program pixelgarde on all photos posted on the Internet and Facebook.Photos are actualy taken with a Samsung fe280.  ::).  And uploaded to laptop then to iphone simcard Btw the spot does look very close though good eye. But I believe the fish with the worm is a buck  and the long slender fish is a doe .

You seem to think you know me well. You can email me and say that to my face ? Or hide behind a screen?
You may know who I am , and what I look like .perhaps you do know me and that's why your going "anonymous"
