Anglers Envy, The First Blood

[gottaflylee]

A while back, Kevin (Anglers Envy) on the board, made a post that you would chose what the rod he was making me would look like, well I want you to know that it turned out great (thanks Kevin for not putting in the gray that a couple wanted...). I love the colors and it is in the gottafly green theme the rod has, not to mention that it does catch fish...first blood...









With this out of the way, I got to watch Kevin and Chris Natui nature on the board) battle it out as to who got the most and biggest Trout. As to who won, I can't say as it was neck and neck. Somehow, I did not get pictures of the bigger fish on my camera as I was shooting more with Kevin's and hope that Kevin has them on his camera and will upload some of his.

Let the battle begin...








Kevin, can't say enough good things about the work of art you gave me, I love it and looking to show more pictures of it soon with fish. Kevin will have to give you the rod specks (puny, get it...) on the rod as I am not that savvy with it, I just know what feels good...

And now, I present to you...rod art...

Nice rod and great report. Glad you put the mirrolure in that pic, I just picked up two of that color combo over the weekend. Once again, outstanding job putting people on fish.

Lee, Nauti and I had a wonderful time! I'm just glad that I caught the most fish and the biggest as well!! At least thats what I am going with!! Naah, who am I kiddin. Nauti fished circles around me!

Here are some pictures from my lens:















The rod is an American Tackle matrix blank that is ideal for Trout with a fast tip and great backbone for lifting and turning their heads! Its PERFECT and I am gad that I got one into your hands so you can experience one of my rods and see the difference!!!

Thanks again Lee, we had an awesome day. I look forward to fishing with you again soon!
