fish o' the summer

folks, what you see above you there is a big damn trout.

in the magazines, you're supposed to get as little of your hand around the fish as possible, and hold it out really far in front of you so that perspective makes it look very big. kind of like this.

i did not do that. but, it is safe to say that the rainbow i am holding in that picture is 24 inches or more.

the biggest trout i've ever brought to net.

i look slightly happy, don't i?

again, i regret to inform you that i am unable to tell you on what river this fish was caught. if i revealed that information, i'd have to kill you.

or at least cut out your tongue.

link o' the day:

i made up a word 90 seconds ago and decided to google it. lo and behold, snoogle is an actual product.

ain't the internet grand?
