Alrighty I guess I can post a few pics
That first one was bigger than it looks. As the caption says, haha. I caught that guy with a size 24 tiny little midge fly I tied at 1 in the morning while deep into a glass of whisky. Next day I got up too early, drove three hours and hiked two miles and caught nothing for about five hours. Just as I was getting that "Do I suck at fishing?" comment in my head, I decided to toss out one last time into a little seam of water about two feet deep. My line went down and the fish came up! Of course my net got stuck on my pack so I had to grab her with my hand.
The next pic is one of the cleanest looking trout I've caught. She hit a little orange salmon egg I tied.
That dream water is from Idaho but it just looks so good right now so I figured I would post it
That last fish is my biggest to date. Last year on this very date. I tied a fly out of a piece of dead jackrabbit and some elk hair I found on a fence when I was hiking. Drove out to this little creek that dumps into a lake. There were two guys catching enormous pike on crank baits and I gave them a wave. The wind was whipping the water into a froth. One of those winds that every time you cast it throws your line back in your face, haha. So I did what every respectable redneck boy from Virginia would do (fly fishing purists cover your ears), I added a bunch of split shot and whipped my streamer out across the stream. After two quick strips this gal hammered it and I thought I had snagged a log. I didn't even have a camera but one of the pike fishermen saw me fighting the fish and he and his daughter came running over. She had a camera and took this pic, and she said Mister what kind of fish is that? I said its a Miracle Fish!
Measured it out at 28" ....but who's counting

I hope I don't sound overly petulant, but I don't like you guys. Pay no attention to me, it's been over a year since I've held a trout (or any fish) and my lack of sanity shows it.
It's been a long time for me as well. May have to rectify that this weekend.
