Went to Iowa this morning for an hour. Scored my biggest Iowa of my life. I gigantic male brown just an eyelash under 26 inches. Is in my freezer now and I am going to do some research on good taxidermists before I take it to one. Only have one photo
was targeting stocker bows to scratch my itch. Had caught 2 already. The water was gin clear. Was throwing a size 9 panther martin. The beast came out from under a huge boulder and freight trained the spinner. Blood from gills almost instantly. Kinda short battle. Tried to revive. No luck. I don't throw obvious dead fish back in. The coons can catch their own trout.
