This fish was caught by Dan Stewart of Bishop on 11/9 on a 5.5 Inch Baby Bow Trophy Stick. He asked me to post this for him because of troubles with the cpu. He said this fish was a reward of years of fishing with his father and grandfather and it was quite a story but he told me to post it for him. He said when he had her in the boat he felt his father's presence who passed away some years back and was a very special moment. He is very greatful for this fish and I am very happy to post it for him. He said he is so gut hooked right now it is unbeleivable. I am very happy for him. What an accomplishment! I can't figure out how to post the pic sorry...

Beautiful fish! Congratulations to your friend. It's even more beautiful that he feels closer to his dad and deceased grandfather. Whith great moments spent with your loved ones, do they really die? I am sure his grandpa is celebrating with him on that beautiful catch.

C O N G R A T U L A T I O N S ! A true Trophy, only second to your memories of your heroes: Your Dad, and Gramps..... That fish looks like he's been AROUND a bit too! Be Well Friend, I know I'll ALWAYS CHERISH the memories of fishing with my father (still doing it as well!) and my late Grandpa, the first person to take me to a pond and put a rod in my hand...........THANKS......
