I set a goal a number of years ago that I had to meet or break a minimal size on a rainbow or brown trout before I would ever consider getting one mounted. I had no idea it would take so long to reach that goal. I've literally caught and released thousands of trout in pursuit of this goal. Yesterday I not only reached it, but broke my personal best three times in one day! Needless to say I'm still riding the natural high that came from that. This fish was hard earned. The wind was relentless and the red on my face is wind burn, not sun burn. I actually had wave hit me in the chest a time or two while standing in knee deep water. It was crazy and worth every second. This trout I've deemed worthy for the wall and now I just hope the taxidermist will work his magic and make it beautiful.
