Bull trout caught by kayak. Weight/Length estimated as the fish escaped before I could get it on the scale. Still put up a nice fight.

Absolute blast today, managed to land my first monster bull of the year, along with lots of decent trout. Around my 4th biggest bull ever.

Couple hours of fishing and my hands nearly freezing off led me to my first bull trout of 2025! May not be a pb, but I'm still stoked with this fish!
