Default My Christmas chrome!!!!
Got up this morning to go fishing. Not a starbucks on the way open. Rolled up on the the Clackamas river and was surprised to see that it was quit high and muddy. I walked to the river to scope it out and there where anglers there but I couldn't see their feet. Well, I was up and I didn't want to go home yet so I jumped into the car and headed to the Sandy. The river was in PERFECT shape. Next thing you know, I got my Christmas present. She was a leaper and fought hard. She ended up @ 34inches and a 19.5 girth. I found a weight chart and it said 16.1 Lbs.
THESE ARE BAD PICURES (mom's crappy camra)








You can see I was in a hurry and had to get changed for Christmas. Fish sat in the car while I was at my aunt's all day. Whole family got a great look at it. Better then these crappy pictures!!

Remember it was about 30 degrees all day. So it stayed very cold. I took the fish to a Party on Friday. So it was still fresh
