If that 20 12/16" holds that should put you in the top 20 all time in Washington.  And possibly the biggest in the past eight years.  Definately the largest ever taken in that county.  That's pretty cool! 

Skagit is really producing this year.

Great bear, good job!
The reason there are so many Ruger upgrades is because they're necessary.
