FOAL - Double Style

Andrew Hearne a good friend of mine from Chirstchurch, NZ has his FOAL on display this fine July day. This was Andrew's first recorded Double...or Double figured fish (at least ten pounds or bigger). This concept is rather new to me and the States as well. We usually measure all our fish in inches, not necessarily in pounds but over in NZ its all in pounds. This makes sense to understand the condition of a trout and truly show its' build.  A guy can have a 24" trout that weighs 4 pounds or have a 24" trout that weighs 9 pounds, it just depends on the condition. Anyhow awesome fish, and congrats on the double.
