A new Panther Martin payed off big time for Bitterroot Spike with a whopper wild cutthroat:


We named this one "Skip" and released it back home.

Very nice, well-composed shot, Matt!

Matt, nice pic wish I could have seen the whole smile. We are bringing out a new model with scented hooks. I'll send him some when I get samples. Eagle Claw has developed hooks with scent in them and we have a two year exclusive for inline spinners. I'm sure other companies will be using them also.Do you have any other pics?

It is the same when you are stupid.

Skip,

Bitterroot Spike extends a big thank you!

I got one other picture with this fish, but he got a little dirt on the fish. I really like the candid nature of this photo and the genuine dellight he has in landing the big guy. It was tough fishing, but the fly-dressed classic Panther Martin proved too enticing to the cutt!

Skylar,

We were backpacking, so I brought along the V1 with the 1 Nikkor 18.5mm f1.8 prime to save weight and space. I will post some of the other scenery photos when I get a chance. It was a fun trip!

We waded through seas of bear grass blossoms:



and saw an incredible sunset:




And had a nice home away from home:
