That's plenty huge to me. I normally fish tiny mountain streams, so I'm used to 10 inch brookies and rainbows. My biggest ever is a 16 inch rainbow. I've never had the joy of trying to net a giant on a tiny 7x or so tippet.

This thread is seriously lacking in pictures. Let's see your best catches! I'll try to upload some of my own once I get home.

The first Guys Weekend in several years that I skip and this is what they came up with.
The big one is a 35# blue with several smaller blues and channels on the stringer. They were caught jugging Sweet Water Cove at Grand Lake, OK and from what I was told they were all very, very tasty. |

Here's something I put together from my Canada trip last summer. Most of the fish pics are at the end of the video. Not any trophies but lots and lots of keepers.

I just ordered my first fly rod and reel. It's a beginners kit actually. Looking forward to messing around with it.
Went with this combo which was the highest rated for beginners by Outdoor Life. http://www.cabelas.com/cabelas/en/te...-catfeatflyfsh Any seasoned fly fishermen have any tips or tricks to share for a beginner? |

So the Scientific Anglers Mastery Series fly line that comes with it is garbage? I bought the 8'6" in a 5 weight. What line would you recommend?

No. SA Mastery is an acceptable line. In all honesty, I didn't look at the kit breakdown. Most kits come with a garbage line made for that company.
