I was recently fishing the Snake River in Washington. Steelheading in a river flowing at 17,000cfs can be fairly intimidating. I picked out a nice looking run an began swinging through with my switch rod and floating poly leader. Within minutes I landed my first Snake River steelhead, 32" x 12lbs. He took my oversized beadhead prince at the end of the swing. We landed four more fish in just over an hour. I am no longer intimidated.

After seeing a piece on television about the Chatthootchee River. I decided to get up there and see for myself if the fishing was as good they portrayed it to be. I used a sucker spawn, an egg pattern fly my nephew had learned to tie. By 10:30 I had caught at least 15 fish, having to replace my "go to fly my nephew ties" every 3 or 4 fish. They literally tore them up. The rest of the day was equally as productive and I ended up witha total of approximately 40 fish some pushing the 10 to 12 lb. mark. If you have the chance to get up there, I guarantee that you will have a great time and mant fish will be caught. Outfitters are a good place to start and gather info on this section of the Chattahoochee. They have guided and unguided trips.

Was fishing the upper Skagit this summer and caught the Biggest Dolly Varden of my life so far. I have fished the Skagit a lot for Dollies, but this fish was the biggest I have personally ever seen out of the river. Taped out at 30". Caught it using a large Scuplin pattern. Fish was released unharmed after this shot.

Week 5 - Bass Pro Shops and Gift Card Mall Outdoor Winner
Grant Olsen of Utah won a $100 Bass Pro Shops gift card from Gift Card Mall. Enter Now...

They say that the muskie is the "Fish of 10,000 Casts". Well, it took me seven years to catch my first tiger muskie! Pineview Reservior is the top muskie fishery in Utah, so I spent seven summers up there...trolling, casting and swearing. After years of failure, I finally hit the jackpot. The lake levels were quite high, meaning lots of submerged trees and vegetation. I decided to bring my canoe so that I could navigate the hard to get to areas. I invited my friend Andy to come, because he's very patient, which is a necessary virture, given my muskie track record. Andy had never been fishing before, so I rigged him up a small, rusted spinner because I was sure he'd be snagging a lot and I didn't want him to lose any of my good tackle. Five minutes into the trip, he started shouting and his pole doubled over! He landed a beautiful 36" muskie and said, "Wow, that's fun! You should try to catch one, too!" The dude caught one on his first fishing trip EVER! I couldn't believe it! Thankfully, it was only a few minutes later that this 38" brute slammed my crankbait. After a great battle, I released him to fight another day. It was an amazing day that I'll never forget.

Ray DiTunnariello of New Jersey won a $100 Bass Pro Shops gift card from Gift Card Mall. Enter your photo and story now...

This was my second year hunting in Hancock New York with my Dad, Uncle and my cousin. My gun is a Browning 308 lever action with open sights. This year I decided to buy a Nikon 3x9 scope for my gun. Unfortunately, I didn’t get a chance to zero my gun in until opening day morning at the rifle range. While walking into our spots about 10:00 we kicked this beautiful buck up and he ran dead away from us. My cousin Ray suggested a drive; we thought maybe the deer would circle right back to his bedding area. I stood in the same general area and my cousin Ray put on a silent drive and pushed the deer within 60 yards of me. One shot to the chest dropped him in his tracks. This was the luckiest day of my life and a buck of a lifetime.

Wow! Great Website! Love the show! 
I thought I might as well send in a picture from a recent hunting trip. I thought Oregon should be represented on the big game side of things as well.
This is a beautiful blacktail buck that I took on a late season archery hunt here in Oregon. I was set up in a thick draw doing some rattling and spotted this great buck sneeking in to check things out. He walked within 30 yards of me an I got him to stop in an opening where I had a clear shot. It was a great end to another exciting season of blacktail hunting.
