TK, do keep in mind this is rifle/firearm/varmint forum, focusing on the .204 Ruger, but as we know, other calibers are welcome.
But you've got some noteworthy fish there buddy.

True...but I love all of it. Fishing, hunting, and shooting. And for some reason, I am trying, in vain, to save this forum from Stage 4 cancer. Im not sure if radiation and chemo will save it. But if fishing pictures prolongs its death, fish pictures it is.

I bet if this was a 6.5 Creedmore we would be overwhelmed with Gen Z and Millenials and their pictures...just saying. Us boomers need to step up our game!

This is a One Man Limit caught by my daughter-in-law. I should say one WOMAN limit. Tracy is very outdoorsy.

I enjoy fishing also. Great this time of year at the lake. Nice Eagle lake rainbow.

The young lady and her fish look good and plenty of good meals there. :D

Thanks Skipper. These Eagle Lake species are good eating, when it is cold. Flesh is orange, like salmon and they are fine fare, prepared anyway you like to eat fish. :)

My cousins wife is really into fishing. She learned if from her dad as a little girl. Good pictures, I figured we had a few hanging around out there.
