What a freaking giant Brown. I love throwing junk on the 'Stone for this very reason.

Guess that would answer the question why people chase browns.

I'd be happy with one a fraction of that size...soon! Where you at Ford_Fenders? Still singing AC/DC? That is an awesome fish!

Something tells me that wasn't caught on a 5wt

I had a guy hook a rainbow about that big (estimated @ 27") on a dry last season just above the Hwy 89 bridge. Unfortunately, the client thought the fish swimming up to the boat in the first 30 seconds meant "Victory!" and not "Loosen your drag, cuz he's gonna bolt!"

7 and 8wt's are the norm for chucking junk on that river with straight 20lb mono. Good times!

Sorry Chad, as much as I would love to, the wife has me on close proximity lock down for quite a while. Some buddies who live in Bozeman have been trying to get me down this year to no avail. Man I miss the 'Stone. If you go shoot me a PM. I might be able to hook you up with a spot in a boat.

Something tells me the Manistee doesn't flow as quickly as the man-eating beast known as the Yellowstone. It's easy to get your as kicked by a 16" fish on a fast river.

Good point. . .I think of anadromous browns and riverine residents almost as different species though. A 30 inch Lk Michigan fish running up a river is no big deal. A mid to high twenties river fish is always a big deal,
