This is what the fishing for the giant gerrard rainbows at Pend Oreille was like in the old days. These fish were caught in a fall derby. How many of those fish are over 20LB?
|
|

This is what I call "shooting your wad early." Jim Sutherland caught this beautiful 20.5 LB monster kam while pre-fishing for a derby. He still took top bull honors with a big bull trout and 3rd in the rainbow division with a smaller bow.

This is a killer 18 LB.+ "B" run steelhead caught from the mouth of the Deschutes by Jeff Wilcox of Bend.

This big hen rainbow was John's best of the trip until then. She weighed 16 LB. and was released.
|
|

This beautiful spawning male is fairly rare for Wickiup. He had just spawned and you can see some milt on the tip of the anal fin.
|
|

This 23 LB. + monster rainbow from Kootenay Lake is the Hahn's biggest rainbow to date. Congrats on a beauty!
|
|

This 17 LB. male was his first big rainbow on Friday afternoon. John topped that with a 19 LB. hen a little later that day. Incredible!
|
|

This 15 LB. male hit hard and took 30 minutes to boat.
|
|

This 13 LB. rainbow was one of two I took on the trip.
|
|

This 13 LB. gerrard was the biggest we caught off the riggers. I picked her up at 120 feet on a Lyman plug.
