It had a layer of weired thick flim all over it and some festering sores so i wasent touchin it!!! Just poped the hook with the fish still in the water and offf he went

Spawning takes its toll on them, and like some steelhead, they die after spawning. Might not have been its first time spawning.

I knew I had to land this hog after having lost another very similar looking fish and a rainbow within about 10 minutes on Sunday evening.

Had a tonne of energy and did not take to the air. Usually the smaller browns are acrobatic, this is actually the biggest brown I have ever caught, just shy of 30 inches, so I am not surprised it stayed low.

Thought it was going to get tangled up in a beaver dam and it was heart pumping action for what felt like 5 minutes but was probably a little bit less. I had just lost a similar brown due to trying to land it too quickly and popping the hook out, so I lowered the drag and really took my time on this one.

Picture does not do it justice - it had a strong red tinge all over the lower portion - probably the most vivid brown I have ever caught.

Caught on a medium sized roe bag.
