Randy that's an impressive fish!You seem to have the touch for trophy fishing/hunting.I never really got into fishing here in Illinois. I've got a 5lb bass on the wall, and I've wrestled some 10 lb cats, but never caught the passion like I did with hunting. However, I took the family to Rocky Mountain Natioanl Park a few years ago and learned to fly fish with my wife in the cold mountain streams and lakes. We both were hooked immediately. My favorite fish to catch (and release) is the greenback cutthroat trout. After years of being believed to be gone from our planet forever a small population was discovered in remote Colorado. Conservation efforts have now brought this beautiful species back from the brink of extinction.
