trout fishing (old pics)

here's some pictures of the first three trout that i kept and ate (about 4 weeks ago). they were a lot of fun to catch! my gear is small, only 4lb. test on the reel...and 2lb. test leader. caught them on some night crawlers (earth worms). they all measured 12 inches, but one was thicker than the other two.

...in the stream...

...on the grass...

...in da pan!!

we gave two of the trout to sandi's co-worker, Yan yan. she's been driving sandi to work every morning. we are both very grateful. we thought we'd adopt my cousin David's tendency to gift fish to people. we have found (just as david has) that people are more than eager to accept a gift of fresh fish. thanks for the example of generosity dave! (stay safe in da water, and keep on shooting da beeg ones! if you'd like to see some of the fish david catches, you can check out the gallery at hawaiiskindiver.net) anyway, sandi's on call tonight so i'm off to do more fishing. thanks for reading!! catch you later...
