It had a girth of 19.5" been using fishing calculators to try and figure out a weight. I'd say about 12-14LB

Beautiful fish. I've heard that big fish are attracted to pink. Is that the trick?

That sure is a beast, from what appears to be not a very big river.
Never know where they lurk.

Thanks for sharing, it’s more than what I thought it would be, but man that is a fish of a life time. My PB Bulltrout is probably half that size.
