That is one beautiful fish Aaron! Were you Euro nymphing or indicator?

I assume that a fish like that has run up out of a reservoir to spawn?

Steve,

I was indicator fishing as that was the best technique for that situation. Yes that is a lake run fish for sure! I lost an even bigger one on my first cast!

[BLACKGHOST1]

Wow! That is a beautiful brown. Great job on landing that bomber Aaron.

AJ, you were not kidding on the phone. That is a huge wild brown! Love the fact that all the fins are nearly perfect. However, the background light looks very dim - were you night fishing? Because that's cheating for big fish

I was going to give you the "that doesn't quite look 10lbs" speech, but I A/B'd it up to some of the measured 9 and 10lb plus browns we caught this season and it definitely compares. Since it didn't come from one of the Great lakes you get bonus points. I'm jealous. By the way, don't ever get a Boga-Grip or another accurate weighing device - it's embarrassing, humbling, and just down right unnecessary to see what the fish you've been catching for all those years actually weigh :P

[AaronJasper]

Haha funny! I remember steelhead fishing with Torrey about 6 years ago. We caught the same fish three days apart on the same stretch of river. My fish weighed 16 pounds and his weighed on the Boga right at 13 pounds. They were the same fish though > All I said was, "son of a -----!" I wasn't able tell anyone that the fish was over 15 pounds anymore! The scale damn near ruined my trip! I would guess that fish would have weighed between 9.5 and 10.5 pounds. She was hard as a rock and all the eggs were in there. I hooked one male that was over two feet and had some of the prettiest spawning colors that I have ever seen.

Aaron, congratulations, a fine fish know how that feels to nail your first 10lb fish.
As you well know l have seen may fish like this caught on the White river, and given what l can see from the picture l would bet that fish was between 10 and 12.

Now you got to come to the White to get one.

Davy.

WOW, YIKES, and YOWZAS! That is one big brown Aaron! This is definitely one for the "Best of 2008" book!

What a beautiful fish, and I would never have thought it was a lake/reservoir fish. The shape, complexion and contour are all perfect. Usually lake fish are disproportionally shaped (ie: shorter, but big lumpy girth, exaggerated fins, etc).

Let's see, 26.5 on the WBD, now 28 inches, by your generated expectation, I'd say that the next one will be 29.5 inches.

I hope we get a 20 pounder next week.
