Nice fish. Was it 30 inches?

It appears you were drifting a bait. Was it minnows or power bait?

Thanks guys, haven't watched this myself in awhile, you brought it up from deep in the Threads. It measured 29 inches, and we were using minnows. I'm not a bait guy with trout, love to fish jigs these days, but this was a guided trip in search of big browns, and this does do that. I sure wasn't expecting a fish that big that day, one I'll never forget!!

Wow, great video, love to see the footage of him swimming near the boat! Good job landing that hog on 4lb. I'm also very impressed with the guides patience and timing with the net. I learned something!

Beautiful fish. I know that stretch well. How much water were they running if any? It looked like you were anchored in the beginning? Did he pull up the anchor when you hooked your big fish are were you drifted at that point.

Yes, they ran a couple units that morning, then shut them down, drifted spots all morning. When I hooked that big one, it's when they shut the water off, about an hour had went by of low water, and yes, he had to pull ancher, took about 10 minutes to land.

Yes, he's very good, been doing that for 20 some odd years he said. Don't like how they can swallow the hook fishing like that, but it works. He texted me this summer and said he saw that same fish working that same area in some low clear water, I bet it's over 30 inches by now!!
