That is one rare & beautiful Brook Trout. We use to have Brookies in Colorado like that back in the good Ole days. I guess we must of fished them out.

My buddies Brook Trout...the biggest I've EVER seen.

May have been the new state record, but he never had it officially weighed.

This bad boy had a 19 1/2" girth. I still look at it and can't believe what a "TOAD" it is.

Holy cow! Man, I've done a bit of Brookie fishing in Montana but have NEVER seen anything even close to that one!

Are ya sure it wasn't caught next to a nuclear power plant or something?!?!?

Brett, Thanks! Do you know how many years ago? I didn't know they were any brookies like that left in the Rockies. Was it caught in Beaver pond? Nightcrawler? Just guessing...................... :-k

Thanks.

Actually no, caught with a JIG in a lake on the Boulder Mountains, there is still huge brookies in there. Just very tough to catch.

No bait or night crawlers here, good ole fashin jigging. These brookies are to fat and healthy to even look at a worm, trust me I tried for hours and never even had a nibble.

I caught mine with a jig also, it seems to more or less just agitate them until they finally take a swipe at it.

I've fished for hours and hours on this lake, and only caught one brookie and had him mounted. Had another lunker on, but lost him.

The feed is incredible in the lake, fresh water shrimp by the bucket loads. Depending on the winters is how well they fair or if they survive at all.
