My First Brown
« on: November 07, 2011, 11:44:06 am »
Optor posted his 1st Brown on the previous post and I got mine on Saturday as well.  Didn't quite understand the obsession with Browns on this forum but now I get it.  What a fight!  Was just free lining sawbellies when it hit!
Weighed in at just over 5# - Also my first 5 pounder of any type!

Nice fish, great pic!  Great plug for Dunkin Donuts coffee... :)  I agree, great fight on light tackle!  Thanks to John at Bob's B&T with some great tips, we were able to finally get one.

Wow.  Beautiful fish.  You know it almost looks like a landlocked salmon! :)

I don't want to take "man points" from anyone so I have to admit that although I caught the fish, my buddy was holding it while I snapped the photo.  The blood on the rag was from the fish and not my buddy.....

Elsewhere - saw your post about looking like a landlocked salmon....checked a few photos out online and you are right.  Could it be?  Maybe I haven't caught my first brown?
