30" Browns

[Night_Stalker]

Crawl really slow on your stomach. Or approach from behind.

Anyway…here is another one for size: 30.5" by 20" girth. Off internet, angler Eric Ratliff.

Don't know much about him or where it was from.

If I recall correctly - a World record one was caught of the Manistee River in MI several years back.

 

[Brown71]

This was the biggest of the fall so far. 27 1/2 inch caught where a small trib enters a larger river, as discussed earlier. Will follow up with some of the smaller 20" + from this fall.

 

[Brown71]

Gotta make these a little bigger I see LOL.

Test

Lets try this again. A 25" from a limestoner a few weeks ago, right before dark.

 

[Brown71]

21" Male





Another male 21.5"






Eagle we saw early one afternoon.




A small but pretty one.

Pretty sure he lives in Wyoming and catches a bunch of big fish

I fish a few streams in Potter County that hold some larger. We jumped up on a log jam one time and saw a 25 ish...but I think 30" naturals are VERY hard to come by

The largest Brown that I personally known to have been caught that was not a Great Lakes trout was by a friend who landed a 29" male Brown out of Spring Creek back in 2005 or 06. He caught it on a, wait for it..................... My favorite summertime fly, a size 12 or 14 Green Weenie. It was July if I remember correctly.

Ugh. That hurts me more than you will ever know.
