Monster Brown on the Fly

Thought I would just leave this video here. It isn't me, but I would definitely go head over heels for this bad boy, just like this guy did!

You trying to stir up trouble here again, GC, posting that provocative pic?

Haha, you had me going at first! Thanks for the chuckle!

Not to stir the pot but flossing lake run browns during the spawn is not catching fish

Exactly. That fish was worse than flossed, it was snagged in the tail. At around 1:20 you can see the tail lift as he raises the rod. This guy has been roasted up and down on many forums for his supposed "catch".

[bushart]

Looked really cool to me

 

I say beaut catch and nice goin

 

I watched the vid----looks great

 

I am envious for that beauty spot as well

 

Thanks for postin GC

I see no evidence of snagging here. Just a big fish. Congrats to that dude. I think i'd jump in face first for it too.

 

And flossing a brown with a fly rod would be more challenging than just getting them to eat it. They're agressive as hell.

It's a fantastic fish. Congrats to the angler. I'd take one half that size..especially in those surroundings.

[outllaw]

what a beauty roy. i love browns

[solopaddler]

I've seen this video before, it's pretty cool.

 

I didn't see anything conclusive in that video that points to the fish being snagged.

[RangerGuy]

That is an awesome brown! I had big hopes of seeing one like that when I was on The River Test in England.

 

I don't think that was flossed, he's says right in the video that it's wrapped up in the line.

 

Fish of a lifetime, in awesome surroundings!

[torco]

Watched the video a couple times no conclusive evidence it was snagged or flossed. Nice fish in some beautiful surroundings.

Lake run browns in California?

[solopaddler]

Lake run browns in California?

 

 

Yes, it's a trib of Lake Tahoe.

[BillM]

I had no idea Tahoe had giant cows like that!

[Moosebunk]

Kudos to the kid!!! Have enjoyed this video before.

 

In water that skinny, that big brown should have had a pretty good clue as to it's surroundings. Don't imagine it would have eaten just any bug poorly presented. If it took on a mayfly, that's wicked.

I believe when I was a lot younger---the record came from there

 

Long time ago--when dinosaurs roamed da earth

[Meegs]

bigger browns in lake o

Bigger browns in Lake Michigan, but who really cares?

 

I do however like the video editing (ie you never see the hook removed) perhaps because it's in the fishes ass?

I think that was Flaming Gorge, pretty sure it was the hot fishery way back when.

[kemper]

I can't believe nobody has mentioned the ten point dive and fumble recovery he used to land that thing! I laughed out loud when I saw it....just awesome.

[ChrisK]

Nice catch for sure but I'm not a big fan of sight fishing. He did mention that the fish was bigger than he thought.... As for the landing technique he kinda reminded me of a grizzly bear catching a salmon
