Bob Sutton and Darren Rist

Some days, you’re the Bug and some days you’re the Windshield. This broad-shouldered West Branch Brownie was taken on top just above Hales Eddy Bridge on June 8th after a difficult day of secret incantations and obscure hand-signs. He measured 20.5″ sober and made it unlikely that you’ll ever see the lithe 17.5-incher that preceded him to the net a few minutes earlier.

(But I have a photo, if you’re curious.)
