Caught this one yesterday on a #32 Blue Winged Olive. 12x tippet.
Snake River actually.

The (above) story estimates this brown at 31" and 15 or so pounds.
I know some guys who repeatedly electro-shocked a brown down near Three Forks Montana, that they never actually got to the net. The fish would always break free from the magnetic field at the last moment. But they knew where it lived and saw it many times.
And estimated that one a 25lbs or more. That was 20 years ago. So that fish would be gone now. But it does make you wonder how many fish like that there are. And what it would take to catch one.....
