Your stories of losing a giant fish
Today I lost an absolute freak of a brown trout. It's a small stream, 10-20 feet wide but known for good size fish. There is also downed trees and cover everywhere. 17" is a very standard catch there. I had good size tippet on (1x/11lb) but this fish just flew around a submerged tree and broke me off. I feel very confident in saying this fish was larger than 2 feet long, it was shocking when it thrashed on the surface
Whats your "one that got away" story?
