Ed Bihary and I had seen trout earlier when we arrived and after nothing in the seine after several attempts we decided to grab our fishing rods.
I had a few smallmouths playing with my line, then I hooked this monster.

We were looking for darters near the confluence of Big Creek and the Grand.

I don't think he meant the lure that the fish bit. I think he meant the decision to put the net away and use the rods.Wrong gear for trout, from what I've read, but correct for Smallies however.
At nearly half my height, that's the biggest trout I ever saw. I think I'm still on the adrenaline rush from that one!

Yeah, that'd leave you with the jitters for a bit!
So what "landing equipment" did you use?
Todd
Ed's Perfect Dipnet of course, not because it's all we had but because it's perfect.
And yeah I was Jittery for a long time.

I have seen alot that big or so this spring (caught a few in a net accidentially when working some under cut banks) but it seems like the big ones are gone and it is mostly little ones now.
Shoot me a PM next time you are hitting up one of my parks.

I don't really, I just started since I got my canoe. I have a $20 walmart pole.
That is a really nice fish. Once you hook into a nice fish and feel the adrenalin you kinda get hooked. I really enjoy netting fish but it is also great fun to fight a monster like that.

Nice fish by any standards! I bet it put up a hell of a commotion in that little stream!
A great way to round out a collecting trip. I'd have a hard time concentrating on netting with those puppies cruisin by my legs. One minute I'd be there holding up my end of the net, next minute gone - the 9 weight would be getting a workout.
