Caught this bug guy on the Cowlitz River in SW Washington, on cold winter afternoon. Hooked fish on my 4th cast using a purple and green fly, 9ft. Lamiglass 6/10 rod, Pflueger reel. Fish got airborn 3 different times and made more runs than I could count.After long fight my brother put him in the net. The fish weighed in at a hefty 18.9lbs and was 38 1/2 inches long.
