I just might be able to do that- except you'll probably catch them all before I can get there! 

Oh Prober, if you can fit that in, I think JustDave has a great proposition.

New pods of big fish came in with the high water last week.  Tell you what I'll do.  I'll leave my rod in the truck, I'll give you a jig from my Private Reserve (don't sell these), and set your depth.  I'll show you where to cast from and where to put it.  If you miss more than 3 fish, the rod comes out.

I'll have to take you up on that. Right now I'm on American Lake near Lakewood, WA- one R/B to show for my trouble. Not on the Rapala, sorry! Picture to come later...

OK, here is fish #1 for 2013, and it had the honor of being photographed with the TIE!! He will have a sore lip for a few days but other than that he looked pretty good. Got him on a wedding ring at about 45' in 50' of water. It didn't start raining until I was nearly home although it looked like it could at any time all day. Toward the end of the day my fingers started getting numb but still- a GREAT way to spend a Saturday afternoon! I'm not sure this is working- I'm unable to see anything when I click preview so... if not, maybe I'll get it to work tomorrow!

I'm looking forward to seeing that fish. Congrats on getting the year kicked off early. If you have problems posting, send the pic(s) to my email and I'll post them up. Nice job fishing with the tie!

I'll try again later- right now my wife's on the PC where the picture is, so I'm relegated to the laptop. I don't know what the issue is, I've posted before...
Just in case, since I don't think I have it, how about sending your e-mail address in a PM? Thanks!

Trying to post my picture- again! I know I've been able to do this before so I don't know why I'm having trouble now. Here goes nothing... I can't even put in the smilies???

OK, last try. This time I'm using a different browser since I know some have issues. We'll see.

There you go. Great pic. It did look like it was going to rain. Keep catching!

Way ta go Prober...good fishin'!

The tie mojo is still going, congrats prober.

Heeeeeyyyyy,
How did you find him in 50' of water is the real question.  Way to go kid!!!!  Tie is on the board for 2013!

It was easy, Dave- I didn't have to watch for my float to go down! Actually that part was probably just luck. I saw fish on the finder but didn't even know I had him on. The release on my down-rigger was too tight and didn't let go. I probably dragged him for 20 minutes. I'm glad I didn't drown him!

WTG prober !!!!!!

WTG prober !!!!

Thanks guys! Although I tried yesterday, I don't have any pictures to post of me and my first steelhead. I'll keep trying but maybe I should stay with trout while I have the tie.

OK, well I haven't forgotten everything I've learned about fishing.

Boy, I hope someday I get the hang of this stuff...

You did a great job. Selfies are for high school girls. Grown men have almost no chance of getting themselves in the picture and looking anywhere near normal. I hope you guys connect with some steelhead. Great job with the tie. Feb can be challenging.
