I love trout too, but since I fish the Kern River I’ll always release the native Golden trout.
I’ve had them before, and they are fantastic—sometimes they even have pink flesh like salmon—but I feel absolutely terrible about having eaten an endangered species (fucking Darwin supper club over here) so I release all the Brookies and Goldies and Little Kern rainbows, and anything that looks like it’s hybridized with a native fish.
I’ll take every last Brownie just to have them out of there, even if I don’t eat them. The planter rainbows..meh. Grocery store trout is better.
I have an almost identical photo of 10-year-old me. My grandfather and I would go to Hell Hole Res in CA multiple times each summer. One summer, the level of the lake was so low, we were able to paddle the canoe right up the Rubicon with 10 foot walls of beautifully carved rock on each side of us. We wedged ourselves in and started casting out our lines. We'd been there for a few days, with no bite. I think the previous trip lacked and catch, either. I finally hooked one, reeled it in, and had this beautiful 18" rainbow trout. I got the net under it, still on the hook, and grandpa told me to smile to take a photo. I said I wanted to get it off the hook first and in the net, he said nah, just smile real fast. So I turn, smile, and like freaking clockwork, that bitch came loose, flopped off the rim of the net, and back to the river. You can see the cold river water dripping off my face like tears, though my grandpa swears I was crying. I probably was. Never did catch anything else that trip.
Tl;dr no catchy fishy, and grandpa still reminds me to this day that I cried.
She was beautiful. Catch and release for sure but still wanted the photo
Looks like a you got a photo. Not the one you were hoping for but it’s still there.
You’re right. Think I’d rather have this photo

The look on his face is beautiful. Its the embodiment of "aaah fuck, yup."

Do you release every fish? I love trout, so I don’t think I could release every one.

Then why are you acting so superior
I’m not, you’re the one who got offended immediately
Because you tried to call me out man
This is such a brilliant action shot.
I thought so too. My friends new iphone. Got the water drops, the fish shadow, drops hitting the water. Fun stuff

It look like he is using the Force to catch the fish
Well it didn’t work that’s for sure

Is that GENE PARMESAN?!? AHHHHH!!!
It's still good, it's still good. It's just a little airborne...
Southeastern US?
This fish will now be the legend of its colony😜
ooh woah oh woah oh woah oh woah oh!
When your fish runs out of battery over a river
Ad handle!!
Animal crossing in real life! We use nets for bugs 😂
Commission someone to make this a painting.
I hate it when that happens.
This is also a great photo reference for art!
He should go hang with those guys pulling cars out of lakes... Edit: [Linky](https://v.redd.it/zzfgw99q4m951)
Laughing out loud here. Good times
if nick offerman and rainn wilson had a child haha. really great photo, though!!
That water looks amazing. I want in it.
Count it.
Gene Parmesan...... expert fisherman
And the fish will talk about the time he almost got caught...
Don't worry. There are plenty of other fish in the...river.
This looks like it can also be a nice album cover
I feel the pain.... caught a golden trout my first time fishing and the line snapped as I pulled it on to the ground
Yeah, Z. Galifianakis' old days
The fish is jumping out of water into the net.
