Posts: 384 Location: Eagle River, Alaska | First you have to suffer through my summer fish pics from Montana....just got back last week. The last picture of the bunch is the mystery fish.....first one to post with its exact identity will win. The rod is a Steve Worrall Aurora rod I won a few years ago on MuskieFirst....I deconstructed the rod and it is just sitting here waiting to be rebuilt. It is a 7' medheavy rod, listed for chucking 1-5 ozs of weight. The handle is extended to length using aircraft aluminum tubing. I will reconstruct it to whoever figures the fish out, personal tastes.....included with decorative butt wrap and your name woven on the rod.....in real dollars it would be about $225-250 dollar rod. Why am I doing this? Not sure.....must be the Prozac.....premature senility.....or something like that. May not be able to get it finished until later in the fall (after the fishing season is over up here in Alaska). My annual trip to my parents in Northwest Montana was great and here are the pics.....the first patch are from a single day of fishing on the Upper Missouri River with my brother in law, Chris....each of his fish with the biggest he had ever caught. The picture with my daughter in was for Slamr....man she was willing to wait for you dude....the fish she caught has whirling disease...see how the rainbows spine is twisted from just behind the dorsal fin.....second set of pics is from the Swan River, my undisputable home grounds....been fishing them since I was 10. You can probably name most of the different trout and char but the last one is special....I need the exact kind of fish it is.... I will provide clues if necessary....you have to be resourceful...... Goood luck........Brian Edited by DocEsox 7/25/2006 3:10 AM Attachments ----------------  MissouriBowChris.jpg (130KB - 110 downloads) MissouriBowinWater.jpg (130KB - 108 downloads) MissouriBrown22.jpg (192KB - 113 downloads) MissouriBrown22+.jpg (163KB - 128 downloads) MissouriChrisBoww.jpg (134KB - 119 downloads) MissouriChrisBrown21.jpg (172KB - 117 downloads) MissouriChrisBrown21+.jpg (158KB - 107 downloads) MissouriBrownRelease.jpg (163KB - 117 downloads) Whirling Disease.jpg (111KB - 119 downloads) Browninwater.jpg (193KB - 118 downloads) SwanBow.jpg (188KB - 113 downloads) SwanatPonyCr.jpg (173KB - 131 downloads) SwanCuttSP706.jpg (99KB - 116 downloads) BullTrout706.jpg (196KB - 115 downloads) Rainbowongrass.jpg (183KB - 122 downloads) Mystery Fish.jpg (192KB - 126 downloads) | ||

| WOW!!!!!! I have never won anything on this board before, even as superior as I am sure I am...  I don't remember seeing a bull trout picture before, but the red spotting on the side is striking, and in the US the only darker topped trout I remember seeing are #1 Brooks or some derivative thereof, or #2 Lakers, and doubted this trout was a lake trout cross after looking at your pictures. So, with my intuitive knowledge, and extensive fishing background, I made a lucky guess and happened on the post before someone else could pick it off with their own lucky guess. Gee, I feel swell!!!!! Now when I get in a boat with DJohnson and he takes out his custom diamondbacks, etc. I can BLING right back at him!!! I will measure my handles and PM you, I am pretty comfortable with my st croixs and fenwicks and think they all have the same length. | |||
