Finally got a Brown
« on: Mar 21, 2023, 08:22 PM »
We have been hitting a pond trying for a nice Brown since mid January and finally hit one today.  My buddy and his wife went out and we had a beautiful day.  We iced about 12 fish all together and the Brown hit and didn't trip the flag but we caught it on a bait check.  We actually had a lot of those today for some reason.  The Brown was 15 inches and had a big appetite since it had 5 pin smelts and 4 shiners in it counting the one that hooked it.  His wife is a good sport and althought its her first season on the ice really is getting into the sport and does all her own stuff.  She even pulls the sled.

Thanks, I really am fortunate, just as long as I keep her out of the wind for the most part, lol!🤣
