Scott Ritchie and the Maddie


This gorgeous specimen was caught today on the Madison (appropriately known as the Maddie) river in Montana. Guide/Outfitter/boat driver/Ace/knot tier/Craig Kalpinski of CK Outfitters put me on this fish and others and has for years. Had a great day catching toads not numbers! Also landed a nice Bow in the 18"+ range and lost one about that big too. Total about 8 fish with one 1" monster at the Greycliff take out. It was sunny, 80 degrees, no clouds, not a typical day for big fish. Lots of fun and reminds me of why I come to this wonderful area! Got home about 7 p.m., grilled a T bone, corn on the cob, made a salad, opened a bottle of Caymus and watched the KU football victory! Can't wait for the wife, kids and daughter in law to arrive next week...
