HAHA awesome entry!
....bite me...
Funny. I just hooked one of those last month. Wasn't able to land it though. They just lay down on the bottom and it's like pulling against a rock that swims.
In can see she has a band aid on her right thumb! she was lucky
Oh hells yeah, that's what I'm talking about! End the SOTM contest for July now.
Thats ok, you keep the fly, I'll keep my fingers. lol
I would love to hear the story behind this catch.
Winner! Also, please Erin, let the snapper have the fly...fingers are worth more every time.
Big congrats on doing what only about 1% of fly anglers could do.
Chris Lewis - Hey! Yep, he kept the fly, and you can read the story here: http://mysteriesinternal.blogspot.com/2011/07/irony-appreciation-day.html
Ok, where does it go from here?
Mammals!!! Think about the possibilities. If I land my 60 lb springer, (she would hold on to a stick forever) would that count? Humans? What about small children? Maybe my fishing buddy. That guy would put up a damn good fight if he got his mitts on a decent cigar. He's got to go 260lb. Maybe I can actually put my 16wt to some good use?
