Aug. SOTM Entry: Big D Steel

From the inbox:

Hey Chum,

Although a total rookie I managed to land this wild steelhead in the Deschutes August 10^th while out with a few coworkers.  I’m submitting this shot on behalf of my team at the Wild Salmon Center in Portland, OR, who work every day to protect the healthy Pacific salmon rivers we have left. Keep em wild!

Aug SOTM Entry: FL Grass Carp

From the inbox:

Hey Chum,

Attached is a shot of a grass carp I caught on vacation in Florida last week. I saw him tailing by the shore and casted out a chunky orange cone head with rubber hackle in his direction. A few light strips later and he sucked the fly up. A 25 minute battled ensued and once I finally had him landed I was in complete disbelief, as was my boyfriend. We weren't able to weigh him but I would say he had to be close to 30lbs, I could barely lift the brute.

Hope this is slab worthy!
