I was shocked when i discovered this creek, so small you could jump over it but the size of the trout i saw cruising were massive! It only took a matter of seconds before they got spooked so being stealthy and staying down low was the plan. My first fish and first ever brown trout was a beauty 11 incher, caught not too long after scouting the creek and taking a few casts. I was over the top after catching my first brown, and spending 2 hours without catching another and getting eaten alive by the most bugs I've ever dealt with we were just about to leave until i decided to take a few more casts at a spot we already tried. I looked at the water and didn't see any trout, but the left side of the creek was covered with brush and not visible at my angle, i took a cast and this HUGE brown came out, bit and spat it out. I was just shaking because this trout was bigger than any of the trout i spooked earlier in the day, I thought that was it, i missed my chance.. I casted at it again, it came at my bait full speed and i set the hook hard, it was ON!! After a couple of minutes of battling with the beast and lots of profanity we could barely land it with the net my bro had on his vest, i did not expect to hook into a brown this big at a creek so small. it measured just under 21 inches, quick pic and she swam off.

Amazing..

Totally crazy - great work.

That is a beautiful fish!

Wow, working a new spot that doesn't look promising is how you make exciting discoveries!

Dude you're putting up some epic results so far this summer!
