    That little pipsqueak that I posted about 12 years ago catching his first fish from the river.

    That little kid just took his first decisive win last evening. At 19 he grabbed the biggest. We tried for a photo. The fish wanted a beter photo. He caught an 19" trophy trout for the length last evening. You say 19" thats it? It was probably 15" around. I caught the first and most and missed one just as big.
    GTG this Merc.

    Nice fish! 19 is huge for a river!! Must have been a "Breeder" Momma.
    Nice dime with great toning? :)

    We fish just below a Fishing club, the continental divide and Denver/ Boulder drinking water. That is a huge fish, but not as big as they get.
    Got a grade?

    A grade you say? MS66+
    I've been on the Farmington River here in Barkhamsted, CT.
    Wa near a guy who caught a 7 pounder! We were fishing below the hatchery. Great spot! My friend and I fished a bit until it was time for him to work. Him and his father were framers doing a job nearby. I'm sure they get even bigger too.

    Great river picture. As to the dime, that's got very attractive toning. I'll take a wild guess and say NGC MS66 FB.

    As I write this the ad that is currently showing on CT is for discounted flies online, with the attached photo (screen shot) - who said AI isn't listening, or rather watching/reading our posts?

    Oh, that isn't AI. Looking for keywords on pages and inserting ads related to those keywords is 1990s technology.

    Doesn't matter how secret you keep your predilections if the page you're viewing has three occurrences of "fishing" and a dozen of "fish". You're busted. :rolleyes:

    I can’t decide which I like better the fish or the dime. Both are beautiful and I’m sure when he caught that he was absolutely thrilled.
