19"er at Rocky Ford Creek, north of Moses Lake Washington.  No wait, I caught a huge tench at Medical Lake on a fly rod. I don't really want to count it, but it is the biggest.

Sorry, no pictures. I don't fish salt or anything that comes from there. My biggest would be a toss-up between a 26" brownie I got at Clear Lake and a 26" (no kidding!) brookie in McGinnis, both in 2004.

28" Brown from Henry's Lake in Idaho back in the 1980's
35" (+12lb) Pink Salmon while fishing for Grayling on a 5WT!! This fish was a couple of ounces short of the Alaska State Record.
More recent was a 26" Cutthroat at Amber last year. I posted photos last year.
No salt water fly fishing for me.
Tight Lines!

Don't fly fish much but did tie into a 15-17 lb steelhead on accident fishing trout on the Clackamas down in Oregon. It hit on a little egg pattern.

Spring 2008: A 16" SMB on my 4wt TFO rod. No pics unfortunately. That was a workout on light gear! I was stripping buggars for trout along the bank on Skaneateles Lake in central New York state (where I lived before moving to the Seattle area). Man, I need more sweet surprises like that!

I love surprises like that. One evening out at Chapman I was fishing the shoreline with poppers for bass. During the twilight hours, I had caught and released about 10 SMB averaging about 10". As daylight faded and the stars were showing brightly, I thought I would just stay on the lake awhile longer. It was a beautiful evening and the temperature was in the mid 70's. As I was kicking along in my pontoon boat gazing at the stars, I heard a large splash over in the stump area. Not seeing what made the splash, I thought, it might be a fish so I made a blind cast over to the area where I thought the sound came from. When the popper hit the water, I popped it twice and all hell broke lose. My rod was almost jerked out of my hand and I looked up to see a fish jump out of the water. It jumped 3 times and finally after a minute or two, I got it up to the boat. I grabbed my penlight flashlight and put it between my teeth and reached for my net. Landing it successfully, I sat in my boat with my heart racing staring at about a 5# LMB. I didn't have my camera with me, so I put the net back in the water and the big guy swam off into the darkness. I think my pulse rate returned to normal about the time I drove back through Cheney. What a fun memory
