Saturday, alberta brown, official weight 7.445 kgs, over 35 inches, going on my wall as a skin mount. Caught on a 6 weight, took over thirty minutes to land in my pontoon.

Bring on the mud! Lol I haven't kept a trout In the better part of a decade, 300+ hours hunting big browns on 6 different water bodies this year.

I crank out the bucks for flouroflex pro. I wasn't screwing around and luckily had 2x on for tippit. He ran me to the last few wraps of my backing on his first run.
