You would think that catching (and releasing) two twenty inch fish in one day, as did Demetry “The Ghost” Kondrasheff on Day Two of Da Ones on the Mighty Mo, would put you in the winner’s circle, but, no that was not going to be the case because that day was “The Day of the Liam”:--a 15 year old returning Extravaganzer who landed not just one, not two, not three, but FOUR TWENTY INCHERS as witnessed above holding his largest, a 21 ½” beauty of a rainbow and after après logging his bounty into and onto our Twenty Inch board…bravo, Sir Liam “Son of Blackfoot” Handron, we bow to you in fishy homage, for that is 82 ½ inches of twenty inch fish landed in one day, an all-Extravaganza record shattering performance!!
And bowers even include Chris “Hook ‘Em” Barger who, for the second day in a row, landed a 20 inch Mo-bow, with the rest of the fleet talking of fish and a perfect Missouri River fishing day and Adam “Yellow Hat” Rosenbaum who doffs his newest, honorary Yellow Hat for the smallest rainbow in years, a whopping five incher!
Further, Day Two saw new Montana nicknames being awarded to the not-yet-so-adorned rookie Ones for (not-so) valiant acts of Extravaganza courage, witness: Armistead “Mo Bo” Browning being named for his first day 21 ½ bow catch; Tom “No Bow” Rodeno for his two Mo bowless days; Mick “Frick” Stefan and Mike “Frack” Davis for forgetting just about everything, including their camera on Day Two; Jean “Yellowinski” Prominski for her earned Day Two honorary Yellow Hat; and “Silent Davie” Pina for his Ghost-like fitting-in so well with the Wonderful Ones. Thus, now, all Ones have their Montana Monikers!!
As I write this the Ones are just boarding their motor coach to re-traverse the Continental Divide and we shall see what their third day for-tells for us…hard to believe it but tomorrow the Ones already will be headed back home when it seems like they just arrived!!
Best to all from the scene of it all,
Rock Creek Ron
