Beasty 'Bows on Fall Day @ PT 21Oct13

Shredded the Valco Ponds area of Arki tailwater on a pretty 67 degree day. Stood 8 of 10 on the 4 hrs of fishing but landed two huge fish... one 19-20" and one >22". The latter was so heavy it was amazing - I could not hold it in two hands. I caught him right next to the car in some structure... on a black ice mayfly tung beadhead nymph. Big fight to net but no one around to get the hero shot so all I have is the pole measured beast. Visibility is still marginal so I again reached for sliver. The rest of the fish were on silver surfer or flash wing mercury RS2. Shown are just the two big ones. Great day again on this fine water.
