Root Admin Phil Lilley Posted January 30, 2011 Root Admin Posted January 30, 2011 Pete LaBoube caught this big brown this morning while trolling down around Monkey Island with a Pointer. He and his partner fished the Masters yesterday and had some decent trout but did not place in the money. They sure would have if they weigh in this trophy! Word is that they caught a nice rainbow on Friday while practicing for the tournament. 33 inches x 22.5 inch girth - 18.5 pounds. It was released immediately after taking a couple of pictures. Amazingly, it didn't need reviving... it swam right off.

Thanks again Phil will see you in February for you tournament. I hope you catch it again as well. A tremendous and great looking brown. That's what makes taney famous these days. You always have the prospect of catching a fish like this. Good for you, great fish.
Bman Posted January 30, 2011 Posted January 30, 2011 What a catch/release! Did you take the pic Phil? What camera was used? The only good line is a tight line

Root Admin Phil Lilley Posted January 30, 2011 Author Root Admin Posted January 30, 2011 Yes- my old minolta cause I didn't have my optio handy. I took 2 pics cause we were in a hurry to get it back in. One was out of focus... I held my breath when I checked the second one and it was good.
Outside Bend Posted January 31, 2011 Posted January 31, 2011 Great fish, and nice to hear it's still out there <{{{><
