[frenchy]

story is too long to post so i'll just post the pic!!!! CAUGHT AND RELEASED! Not weighed, i didnt want to injure this fish, it was a state record brown (not that i think it counts) but still  awesome going for largies with my giant spinnerbait on a baitcast rod with 55lb braided line....

Nice!!!!!!!

[pmaloney86]

Well done!!!!  Although I don't agree that they should stock state records it is still awesome that you have the opportunity to catch giant fish like that.

Wow!  Nice trout!

[ESOX FIX]

now if you caught that through the ice id be impressed. isn't this a ice fishing site? looking at the Alaska site their still fishing on 30" plus, miss it bad already.

[masshills]

WOW!!!!!

[weneric]

55 lb. braid? in connecticut? i caught 8 ft. bull sharks on line much weaker than 55 lb braid. im not impressed. 6 lb. braid maybe.

Oh man - Congrats on the catch - how long did it take to really that one in?

That is one huge fish. Good job on the catch and release 👍🏻.

congrats on the fish, Looks like the browns that come out of the great lakes

This Seef thing is getting old. Most of our Connecticut's trophy rainbows are caught shortly after being released from one of our state hatcheries. So stop hating. If someone takes a Seef and claims the state record brown ..so...be...it!! Good for him....I am an old timer and stalk the holdover  brown trout some would say are the only type of brown trout deserving to break the record. Not the case...We are a diverse group celebrate it...and a little humility goes a long way young man...

nice job frenchy    musta been fun fighting with him      I saw a similar one caught there 2 yrs ago by a woman and a guy in a row boat and they were fishing corn on the bottom and the darned thing sucked in both their baits and they both ended up reeling it up  quite a funny sight         others here seem a bit jealous   never mind them

[CPace]

Nice fish frenchy!!!  Seeing a good fish caught doesn't matter hard or soft water, it's always a pleasure!!!

[NewGuy123]

We stock the big fish in hopes they are caught,  the guys at the hatcheries  want people out catching the fish, and keeping them aswell, always is good to hear people are catching some of the big ones we put in

Holy cheezit! That is a lunker and a half!
