I lost a huge bow yesterday after he pulled away at my line for about 30-40 miniutes or so. It realy wasn't realy a fight. I just hung on while he looked for different holes and cover to swim to. After a hundred yard trip downstream he finaly found some overhang and got into it. I felt a bit silly pulling away with my 5x tippet and chaseing after a 26" plus 7-8lb fish with a 14" trout net. I would like to thank the two gentelmen who stopped fishing to help possibly land the monster and to take pictures.

   This creek is a great place to fish!! I am comming back with some heavier gear and a camera. Anyone use 4 or even 3x??
