SOLID !! way to stay after it and get what you were after. was it casting or trolling? did you catch any other browns? Nice work

I'd be surprised if he had kept it. I think he has a lot of respect for those big browns,... no reason to kill them really. I can't imagine they taste very good (but I think that about all trout really so)
Also I don't think he was out looking for a meal. Something tells me he was after bigger fish for catch and release purposes.

I know he can catch big fish, but that is a trophy for sure. Just not a good way of holding a fish that big (or any trout) if you are releasing that is all. No waves.
