I think I know where you caught the big girl at.

From October. Look at the spots, particularly the bar or slash between the anal and pelvic fin, and the spots around it.

Dare I say, catch and release works?

Kayser,

I just looked at both photos and you are correct that small bar looking spot is in the same location. That is a great fish to be photo-ed twice. Great catch for the both of you.

later,

Very nice indeed. Thanks for sharing!!! Really nice fish.

That's pretty cool. I think that may be the same fish. Here's the streamer I was throwing in the morning, a rainbow warrior and a jiggy pheasant tail like I caught the big brown on.

I like the looks of that 'jiggy' pheasant tail. Any chance you would be willing to give out the recipe?

I'm digging that streamer! Buck tail or synthetic?

[MikeH]

Hallow tied bucktail, polar chenille under body, a little arctic fox and shimmer fringe as an over wing. It's a fairly easy tie and a real easy cast for a big streamer.
