Most of us have heard the fish tales. It usually starts with, "I caught a fish THIS BIG!" But we especially like the really good fish tales–the ones we eagerly take pictures of for posterity.


On this fine October day, Jud, Colter and Carmelo (my dad) went off to spend the day on Henry's Lake. They left at 5 in the morning. Came home at about 5 at night. When I called to check with them mid-day, the fishing was apparently slow. 


But as you can see...this one was worth all that wait, according to my dad. And thanks to our other Dad, Ron, they sure had a good time on his boat catching this fish along with two others.


Sorry, Papa. But it's too late to resuscitate your fish. This lovely cutthroat-rainbow hybrid in his 8+ pound and 24" glory, along with his friends, are making their way to the smoker. Yummy in the tummy!

   I'm impressed. I can smell that smoker from 1850 miles away or is that still the wildfire?
