Rich Posted November 2, 2013 Report Posted November 2, 2013 Just two weeks later, like a weird dream.. I walked down the river to where a salmon managed to drag me down a hill and into the creek last week, lol.. and there is a big dark fish sitting in the same spot. At first I thought it was the same salmon from last week. He was darting from side to side at the back of the pool agressively feeding on chub minnows. I bombed my #5 Blue Fox at him once, twice, and the third time my reel backlashed a little. Spinner dropped to bottom, and he came from 4 feet back and CRUSHED it, right on bottom! Fish on, whoa, this is no half dead boot. In the jam at the back of the pool for a good while but eventually he came out and laid in the net for me. My new PB brown.
kickingfrog Posted November 2, 2013 Report Posted November 2, 2013 Nice. My son is sitting beside me. When told that it was a brown trout he says: "It's not brown. It's the colour of a pickle. It should be called a pickle trout." What can you do?
Joeytier Posted November 2, 2013 Report Posted November 2, 2013 What a big ugly brute! Awesome story and great fish man!
BillM Posted November 2, 2013 Report Posted November 2, 2013 Sweet brown Rich! I love those giant kypes!

manitoubass2 Posted November 2, 2013 Report Posted November 2, 2013 (edited) Nice. My son is sitting beside me. When told that it was a brown trout he says: "It's not brown. It's the colour of a pickle. It should be called a pickle trout." What can you do? hahaha, i have kids and know your exact feelings. This post had me laughing hard! Congrats on the pb rich!

misfish Posted November 2, 2013 Report Posted November 2, 2013 Sweet brown Rich! I love those giant kypes! x2 Sweet fish Rich.
Skud Posted November 2, 2013 Report Posted November 2, 2013 Nice catch, and you learned a new pattern for catching them too. Who would have thought a Mepps laying on the bottom of the river would bring in the big one.
Ron Posted November 2, 2013 Report Posted November 2, 2013 Atta boy Rich! So much for the WGSF now.....
FISHEYEZ Posted November 3, 2013 Report Posted November 3, 2013 Awesome fish, what a tank! Well done sir
fishindevil Posted November 3, 2013 Report Posted November 3, 2013 Nice one for sure !!!!! Another crushed PB !!!! Tight-lines
Rod Caster Posted November 3, 2013 Report Posted November 3, 2013 One heck of a pickle trout. As if it hit hardware on bottom like that
Rich Posted November 3, 2013 Author Report Posted November 3, 2013 One heck of a pickle trout. As if it hit hardware on bottom like that Thanks everybody! I was much more excited in person than this post made it sound, lol And yeah, odd thing is it's not the first time it's happened to me. It's becoming a running joke now if I get backlash and my spinner sinks to set the hook cuz there's a fish on. Hahaha
Steve Posted November 3, 2013 Report Posted November 3, 2013 one of the largest browns i'm aware of, caught by board member Miller, was caught after he let his spoon fall to bottom. a 20lbs brown slurped up the chunk of steel off bottom.
Jds63 Posted November 4, 2013 Report Posted November 4, 2013 thats a beauty, thanks for sharing that story ..
