Made the trip down to the lower Mountain Fork River in the Ouachita
Mts. in SE Oklahoma yesterday. Given my past fishing experiences in
OK, I went ready to hate it. Man, was I wrong and I learned some
things: Get Some Wading Cleats, Always carry a net, Always carry a
camera, and Big Fish like Big Files.

I didn't have a net, so I had virtually no way of controlling the fish
when I brought it to hand. It wasn't quite played out, and as soon as
I extracted the hook it was gone. I had a camera, and did manage a
few "fighting shots" before his hit. After that, well, I had my hands
full.

I'll post them, along with some "river pics" if anybody would like to
see them.


Yes, please.
