Fishing Report from British Columbia
This shouldn't happen, ever...
First day, first run, maybe my first or second cast steelheading and this unbelievable 20lb buck was in my hands.
I was shaking and smiling and almost crying. People wait their entire lives for a fish like this. Not sure why it fell in my lap like this but I'm not arguing.
I'm not able to post again until I'm out of the bush, but will give a complete update when I return.

Dude.

Holy s#@t... look at that fish! That's one of the prettiest steelhead I'v ever seen. You owe us, at least, the complete when, where, how, and with what, when you get back. Pleeze.

For most people that is the fish of a life time.

What??
This guy gets paid to fly around the world, to go fishing and take pictures of it?
Then he marries a real babe who loves hiking and fishing in the Rockies - even on her honeymoon?
Then moments after stepping into a BC steelhead stream, he hooks and lands THAT fish?
And snopes.com confirms all of it!
I believe in luck, but I also believe it's purchased with the coin of opportunity and talent. Good on ye - it weren't all by accident.
