Yes, they do (live in a lot of rivers). I will take them anytime!!
DG: what is your definition of huge? I think I said perhaps "large" is a better definition on second look. How does "nice" compare to "large"?

Both of those are beautiful Browns in my book, no matter where they were caught. Just look at all of those vivid black spots the entire length of that Brown in the top picture.
It is interesting - the words we use to describe the size of fish.
Yes, it is all subjective and based on our experiences and the water(s) we fish. Those who fish small streams which are primarily inhabited by "smaller" fish might feel that an 18" trout is "huge" - and it may be "huge" for that particular stream.
In my fishing (for trout), I have come to use the following terms:
"nice fish" or "good" fish - range of 14" to 18"
"big fish" - 18" to 21"
"large fish" - 21" to 24"
"huge fish" - above 24"
This one is a hen, so doesn't look as large as a male, but I call this one "huge". Everyone with me said it was "huge" even though it was in Patagonia.
