20-21 in. fish I caught a couple 15-17 in. fish and a couple 12-13 in. caught on a motor oil w/ black specks bass stopper rigged worm and the little aluminum cuban yoyo reel in the picture I also caught 20-30 bluegills and 5 10-11 in. bass on the 2 tenkara rods I took first time to get to use my Christmas fishing gear
Yes it takes a little practice if you are use to the 6" yoyo's . First thing I did when I got mine is take 50 ft of line off it . only thing I see is with fingers holes you have to turn it to let line spool over the lip to let a fish run . Where with a 6" yoyo you can let the spool turn in your hand and apply pressure better . It is a great little reel to throw in your pocket to have with you . If I am fishing for big catfish I stick to the 6" and 9" reels
From our best day of the year...not a soul in sight for 3 days!
How am I just now finding this thread?!?
I caught my biggest brown Sunday, kype jaw and everything! I was nymphing with my 3wt armed with 6x tippet. I wasn’t targeting anything too big. I decided to throw a little booger on my euro leader since the bugs weren’t working.
I haven’t experimented with streamers on my tightlining setup much. I was just getting the feel of whipping that mono rig when this ~20” brown slammed my fly!
It was the longest 5 minutes of my life!
This is in Wyoming. No 3 wts for us...we’re using 5’s.

I’ve never eaten one either...that was a lucky fish, we didn’t even know they were in there. We let em all go, though. This stream gets light pressure and I’d like to keep it that way! I’ve always thought grayling meant good, healthy water...sure hope so cuz this gem deserves it! But I’ve heard grayling outta good cold water are tasty.
