I fished Hat Creek this final weekend, and had a great trip. landed about
a dozen fish over the weekend, a few over 16 inches. the real excitement
came when i spotted king kong. The fish was bigger than any other fish i
have seen in moving water, and in the flat section at carbon bridge, he
looked very out of place. of course i tried to catch him, but after
bouncing a leech off of his mouth i decided he wasn't interested. i
watched him for a while, and then decided to try and get some pictures up
close. it turns out he didn't mind me standing a few feet away from him.
i am not completely sure, but i believe it was a brookie. here are some
pictures for your viewing pleasure.
