A note from @rockymountainreels

Ever wonder what happens when a hungry Bull Trout meets a whitefish? Over the weekend, me and my buddy headed out in search of Bull Trout. After taking a break from throwing streamers, I decided to switch things up and throw a nymph rig.

I ended up hooking into a small whitefish, but on the way in, it got absolutely SMOKED by a Bull Trout! Luckily, my buddy was there to net BOTH fish! UNREAL EXPERIENCE!
