Cecil, no sweat man! I just read "THE THREAD"......Tigers are cool looking, but I'm with you. The Brookies to me are the classic looking trout.Makes me think of Virgil Ward,and old Hamm's beer commercials. If I thought they would be the best for my winter-time Missouri pond....that's what would go in!
