37 trout to hand ranging from 4 inches to 16 inches. Fished for 5 hours.

I had a very small brown on this morning and an ENORMOUS male brown lumbered out from under a bank directly in front of me and accessed the thrashing midget and slowly turned and went back under the bank. This was about 6:45am. I held still for 5 minutes and slowly backed up and thought to myself if I had anything it might like.

I threw the kitchen sink at the big boy with no luck. If I had a big hopper along I think I could have gotten it.

Your story had me shakin’ Len, but I want photographic proof. :wink:
Every once in a while a day like that comes along, and we remember them forever. A couple of years ago on the St. Joe in Idaho, I hooked a nice cutthroat about 11"-12". While I was trying to land him a big bruiser bull trout about 26" came out of the depths and gave chase. I landed the cutty, and returned him safely to the river. I’ll never forget that big guy.
Thanks for sharing,
