Old Guy with the Salmon

Great moment...I think I'll go tie some Lady Caroline's just to remind myself that fishing one of those beats is still on the bucket list.

Quite a story in this image. Love it. Looks like true salmon love on the part of the old guy. Wonder if he holds his wife so dearly?

The heartbreak for him was it's a catch and release policy on this river and this was him releasing it.
