CAUGHT AN ACTUALLY BIG(ish) FISH THIS TIME

AYYY GOT A 2.5LBS BROWN TROUT!!!! My dad is so proud of me lmao he's so excited I caught a fish this size basically by myself (he grabbed it outta the water for me since we had no net and i only have 1.5 arms) I'm so glad. Messed my wrist up a bit fighting with the damn thing though so I let him reel in the next bite I got. I gotta say, he's giving me a run for my money with his first catch, a monstrous 6" rainbow trout, not sure how I'll top that one :( Unfortunately this lil guy swallowed the hook the entire way and his mouth ended up damaged pretty bad trying to get it out of 'em, so it didn't get to escape. A shame, and we feel bad, but perhaps another animal will enjoy a free meal of it. entropyyyyyyy
Here's another, clearer photo of the big one, whom I lovingly referred to as "Big Sexy" the entire time we had it. Warning that it is dead in this photo; we kept it to give to my granddad because he likes to cook & eat them and we know he'll eat the whole thing, so it's not being wasted. He was also very proud of me, living up to my family heritage of Catching Big(-ish) Trout or whatever lol
CW: dead animal, blood
