Brown run better than years past?

I've personally seen more "keeper" browns caught and released this fall than any other fall season... is that seem true to you?

I'm going to test the system and post a pic sent in to me yesterday... I like guys who carry ditigal cameras!!

May be I won't- I'll check my permissions!!

I went down there a few weekends ago and I personally thought that I seen more big browns than when I went last year. Maybe I just had better timing this year, although I still didn't hook any of the monsters that trip :P .

You mean people are actually removing these browns from the lake?!!? To do what with them? Eat them? I find it hard to justify removing a large trout form the lake period. Take a photo and have a replica made. And if you want good table fare, try some walleye or buy some salmon at the store. Please...

Here's a big brown I caught early in October below rebar. It took a smallish natural bunny leech. Landed him in about 20 minutes using 7X tippet. I didn't think that would happen when he hit, as the horn had just sounded and I though for sure he'd use that to his advantage and simply strip me or break me off. I got him into some shallower water and my buddy Marc netted him. And, I released him.

Hmm. I'm having a hard time getting the pic to attach. So, the photo is actually on the OzarkAnglers.com website. It's the "Jim Smoot" photo. Phil, can you get it here moved here?
