[Smokey River]

Sorry but I have to play devil's advocate here and agree with Young gun for once.

That buck should not have been killed. Yes it is a beautiful fish and yes I too would have fought it and gotten a pic since it is a nice fish (awesome colours) but to kill something like that is just not right. If it's a summer run fish, who cares, still let it go. That thing is far from being good table fair or even edible as far as I am concerned. Yes I am from the coast and can catch chromers, but I'm picky about the fish I kill anywhere (and there are obviously decent looking fish in that river judging from the other pics).
