Big Fish, Big Error but even bigger memory

Fishing with Ted yesterday down at the SSA Camp on Dutch fork about Mid afternoon. Fishing started off slow with a few creek chubs but no trout on Trout Magnets and Meal Worms. I switched to single eggs and started my drifts catching a few nice ones then I locked into a big one. Ted was fishing the opposite bank and when it surfaced he knew I was onto something. Ted quickly made his way over to my side of the bank while I fought the big rainbow. After a few minute fight I was able to land it in my net. We did not have a tape measure or scale so we measured it with the net stretching from butt of the handle almost to the end of the net with 2 inches to spare. We later measured my net and came up with 23.5 and about 7lbs. Ted being the a “experienced” iphone user offered to use my phone to take a picture (5 pics) before I sent the hog on its way back into the wild for others to enjoy.

3 pictures and 2 release pictures and we celebrated. I put the phone back in my waders and continued on catching a few more trout. I was sitting there thinking I would like to sharewith Doug and social media but nice catch so I reached into my front pouch of my waters to relive that awesome experience………

NO PICTURES?

“Ted, there’s not pictures on my phone…. what button did you push?”

“The big black one…” he replied gingerly (the one he normally pushes like we discussed on the drive down.

Any of you iphone users out there know the “Big Black Button” is the HOME BUTTON ON THE IPHONE.  Feeling bad Ted apologized and felt terrible about the mistake. I on the other hand felt bad for him knowing we have created a even bigger controversy for Mickey & Danny. According to Ted I caught the biggest one in the hole but we have no proof further extending the SSA saga of who caught the biggest fish.

You decide who caught the bigger one.

I later posted on Facebook about my story to share my experience and grateful day. Numerous of banters and harassment among friends, I still know that I caught the big one. Today I can’t share my proof on Social Media or RF but Ted and I know I caught the big one. Here is some comments from my facebook Feed for you to enjoy.
