Todd Shaw—who guides for Willowfly Anglers in Almont, Colorado—sent us these photos of a ridiculous rainbow trout that he caught while stripping an Olive Troutzilla streamer on the Gunnison River. Estimated between 34 and 36 inches long, it is believed to be one of the biggest trout caught in the stretch of the Gunnison between the headwaters and Blue Mesa Reservoir in the last decade, if not longer.

I hope you put it back to fight another day. What a magnificent creature. I bet you were relieved when you landed it. Congrats on the fish of a lifetime!
