We start with a five year quest to bag a bird. Brandon has been hunting the same "Walk In Access" area for five years, and this year he finally connected with this tom with three days left in the season. Brandon made 11 trips this season, waking up at 3 am but his persistence finally paid off.
Laurie had just caught this nice fat rainbow up at East Canyon, her husband Dean grabbed the camera to take her picture when the fish decided to make a break for it, just as Dean snapped this great shot of his wife's surprised face.
Audrey was fishing for Crappie at Utah Lake with her family when this big fella decided to make an appearance. This was Audrey's first ever catfish and what an ugly one it is, good thing it's being held by such a cute kid!
David took his son Nathan to Strawberry for some father son, bonding. Little did they know how close they would be that day. Nathan got a bite, started to reel the fish in, when dads rod went off and Nathans slacked up. Soon dad's line slacked up and Nathan was again fighting a fish. Turns out, this 18 inch and apparently hungary rainbow had swallowed both their hooks in a single feast.
But our winner tonight caught a fish nearly as big as she is. Two year old Madison out fished her entire family with this huge 23 inch, 7 pound Strawberry rainbow. Dad says, Madison was using her princess rod when she got the bite. Dad set the hook and had Madison try reeling it in. On the fishes first run, Madison about lost her rod out of the boat, with a little help, the old princess rod held out and they finally got to see the biggest rainbow anyone in the family had ever seen. Madison was so proud she carried the fish around all day. The whole family had a blast talking about Madison's catch. Not too bad Maddie, a record your family may never break, and when you grow up, you'll be able to cook your catch with our big prize for having just won...our snapshot of the week.
