Caught this one on one of my leech patterns

Wow beauty, fish did you get a measurement on that baby, and did you get it in Alberta?

Alberta yes . Over 28 inches

Tremendous fish, congratulations. Rare to catch rainbows of that size, pretty exciting when it happens!

Did it take your leech while static, or were you working it on an active retrieve?

Good luck for the rest of the fall, I hope you connect with plenty more quality trout.

Nice rainbow indeed! :happy0180:

28 inches is a monster bow! Congrats. A great catch for sure.

nice

Looks like he's not going to survive....

He did survive.

On what basis, envy?

Just for everyone s info . I made sure the fish revived before it swam away. He was over legal size so I could have harvested the fish. But released for future catches.

You need not justify.....great fish....

That’s a beauty and congrats. No doubt it will survive for future enjoyment. Good on you for the release

Those prairie lakes grow em big if they live long enough ...... great fish

Nice fish for there especially ! I get why “deep” thinks he’s dead. He’s upside down with no movement

Good man for releasing the fish. Giving someone else the thrill,of catching a fish of that size.Here in Albberta is very,very rare.. Congrats,thanks

Trout tend to remain more still when they're upside down, not to mention those Moby nets tend to make them stay more still for some reason. Great fish though!

Yes indeed a beauty fish. I only C&R myself and its lack of any movement had me concerned- many do need be manually revived and happily swim away. Gratz...even on your own fly :)
