Wow Dave! That is one massive, square tailed Brown. How about some details? Need a bit o flava to go with a fish like that. 🙂 ;D

 This fish is huge..  Im sorry the photo does not show its size well, some photos make a fish look big, some dont..  We just didnt have much time, and had to get this trophy back to her spawning duties…  I have the phone number of  a guy that helped me, Hes from  Winchester, Virginia and his name is Chris Lewis. He wont be back for awhile as he is in Montana fishing..   We estimated the fish to be in the 10 pound range..

That’s a top fish mate, well done

That’s the sauce I’m talkin bout. ;D

I don’t know Dave. She looks plenty big to me. Of course the biggest I’ve landed was a 14 inch ‘Bow in May of this year. I wish you many more tho. Sometimes the details make the fish. And again, in no way does that thing look small to me. 🙂 🙂

Thanks for the pic & story.

I have seen a very few trout that large (even up here), heck most salmon I see are smaller than that!

Dave that is one great fish! Nice work!

I have heard the moss is still bad in your neck of the woods. I am waiting for the moss free report so I can come over the mountain and chuck some big bugs at those fish.

I’ll be heading to the Big Horn a week from tomorrow and hopefully be catching a few bubbas myself!

Great Fish Dave,

It certainly is the Bubba time of year here in Montana.

[Tim Pommer]

Hell yeah Dave!

Holy smoke, that’s a nice fish. 10 pounds might be conservative. Well done!

Dave,

I love the way you start the thread!

Dave, I will admit up front here that I may act completely differently, when & if, I ever catch a trout of comparable size. That said, I think that qualifies as a Trout of lifetime for most Trout fishermen. Barring Steelhead and Salmon, which really should be taken on their own terms, I seriously doubt a very high percentage of us will get a fish of that size. We all know they are out there waiting to be found, but most waters have very few. All of which is fine. Personally, I don’t want it to be easy all the time, and lately I’ve not been dissapointed. The challenge is part of why we obsess over this sport, IMO.

Again, I say very well done. And yes, I remember the other monster Brown you posted of recently. 🙂

Of course I could be wrong. Maybe I’ll get one this weekend. Hell, why not three?

Hopefully I’ll catch one like that some day.
