27" PB brownie im naming Agamemnon🔥 Like usual, caught with @westco_outdoors in the creek🤷🏽‍♂️💯 One of the gnarliest looking bucks and by far the most insane eat I've recently watched! Seen this guy wake on my lure when I was rippin thru the water with my bait, watched him circle, spin and dive with such agility you'd think he was a 10" brookie😭alllll for him too miss it, swim off pissed as hell and making me re cast. He did the same exact chase where I legit had to stop my bait for him to catch it and he swallowed ittt, legit too big n fast for his own good! I think this fish might be the first I pull the trigger on a replica!?!?👀
hope you guys don't mind seeing this same fish a couple more times on here!🕺🏽🤣 One I will not forget!

It happened 😎
After countless hours and miles of chasing a true trophy tiger, this guy decided to cooperate with me. had an awesome day all around fishing a new waterway and decided to get ready to call it since I was decently happy and the pup was pooped. After a "Last cast" call to my self, I seen what looked like a grass mat consume my lure. I set the hook on what turned out to be a 24" beast of a fish and the fight had begun. It first was nothing but constant dead weight for 10 sec because I don't think it knew it was hooked yet🤣it then erupted out of the surface jumping 4ft in the air (which seemed to make time freeze), showing me just what fight I got myself into😅 after 5min of fighting and peeling drag I finally was confident it was tired enough to fit in my little net🤣Soon as I net the fish and try to get to the bank it flopped out with one swing of a tail and the fight was back on(thankfully). after another minute of wading to the bank I was able to corner this beast and get a couple pics of and was released again to get bigger🤘🏽 I definitely should not of been able to land this guy but glad we met🐯truly a moment I won't forget and glad I had lucky layla @layla_the_fishing_dog

1st season was a huge success and didn't disappoint at all! 🙏🔥
The boys and I put in some work to get a chance and in distance with some big bugles, and we accomplished just that! With our priority being getting Triston a big ol bull, we had nothing but time on our side. Opening day was nothing but action, getting within 450 yards of a very solid bull that Triston ended up passing up, we had the rest of the day to set a game plan for an evening hunt and where to set camp. The rut was still in full swing, bugles surrounding us from all sides of our valley. We pushed up to a glassing bench where we knew big mature bugles were coming from. Once over the hill, the elk busted us and were quick to get out of dodge, that is besides the distracted bulls! Triston threw down his pack, doped his scope and let lead fly at 500 yards at the better bull out of two. Dropped him in his tracks and the work began!💪🏽

With a storm rolling in and a mountain lion stalking us on our way down to camp, we were eager to get in our sleeping bags and sleep. With 50mph winds and the only snow in the valley landing right on our heads, we pursued to get rest. That is until a widow maker tree fell right on our camp on my head🤣Being on edge for a few more moments of the night, we knew we needed sleep. We were low on water and knew we would have to hunt the rest of the season on no water if I didn't get fortunate enough to tag out, or potentially biting the bullet and eating tag soup. Hunter and I sidehill the mountain and bust a mature broken 6x5, pushing seven cows on this ridge.

We watched this bull cross the drainage we just did 30min ago heading towards camp, I threw down my pack and rested my rifle on it to get sights on him. Ranged him at 420 yards, asked Hunter to cow call him and the time was right. The bull stopped and ripped a bugle right at us and that's the moment I let a round fly. Mid bugle and the rest is history! Always thankful for who I have to call friends! @westco_outdoors thanks for everything, here's to many more brotha! Can't wait for 2nd season!👀🔥

Had this big ol buck in the gallery for a minute! Haven't been fishing crazy much with work on my mind and preparing for hunting, but the drive will never leave best believe that!💪🏽🕺🏽 Super quality fish for local waters and the camera doesn't do justice for how oarnge/pink his tail was! Getting stoked for hunting season but also planning a few trips on the water😮‍💨Don't think I'll ever stop this passion, just gotta lock in for a bit!🤌🏽 I'll do some gallery dumps more often.
