It was a beautiful sunny afternoon. The river was on the drop after a big blow out and I knew there would be fresh chromers that just pushed in. I felt the urge to chase chrome. I hit the river mid afternoon. The water was still off color, but it was fishable. I hooked up right away with a supercharged silver bullet that shot out of the water like a bat out of hell. A little later on, I hooked into a nice chromed up buck. I had a couple of other hook ups that went on and off. I talked to a guy swinging big nasties who hadn't had a hook up all day. Right in front of that guy, I hooked into the last fish of the day and it was a big angry freshy that jumped, thrashed, and broke me off in a violent splashing frenzy. This fish was pissed; it jumped two or three more times after it broke me off. Not the way I had hoped to end the day, but it was a good afternoon none the less.
Fresh chrome...
Purple bugger was money...
The guy that took this was no the best photographer, but hey it was a good fish, right.
