My buddy caught and released this fish on the Upper Rogue towards the end of March.
His email to me on March 25.
"Well I caught this fish two days ago, yes I was fishing. The fish was 32in and 17in in girth, this was a great fish, and yes I let it go.
The picks are not all that great, but thanks to Ryan's rowing and some fresh pro-cure sent with Andy Martins Eggs it was a great fighting fish!!!"
This is a HOG for a Rogue River Steelhead...average fish is 6-8lbs... DAWG IT (verb) - To play an entire season of a sport and remain completely defeated.
Taking fish to the afterlife...
