27" brown trout, my largest ever. It was the sub-dominant fish in its pool. After this, I hooked the bigger one, but I couldn't land it.

Another entry into my "dad dropping a fish" series. Here he's dropping his first arctic grayling back in the drink. It was still on the hook, so we got a better picture shortly. From the Chatanika River in Alaska
