I fish those streams with big stick baits.  BIG browns with bright orange fillets.  

As a dry fly purist snob, I just had to reach for a defibrillator.

By far the greatest hook-set I ever witnessed occurred on the "not 18"er"

Hahahah I laughed out loud reading this as I pictured him flying backwards into the water 

It takes skill to be able to set the hook on a behemoth like that bow was. Not every one can do that

I love it!

On a serious note, I could care less how others hunt and fish so long as they follow the rules. It’s issues like crossbow inclusion (or not) into regular archery seasons that I never understood the fights. Or fly fishing versus spin fishing as another example.  Don’t worry about the other guy and his methodology.

I remember one time in Tarrytown, you ran back to set the hook on a striper and ended up in Mamaroneck

The most disturbing part was when you orally extracted the eggs and then shared them with Chef and Marion
