pot belly rainbow
was fishing a new creek, doing well with multiple browns. i had caught 1 average sized rainbow in the mix which was suprising, but then hooked up with this thick rainbow.
Most likely from stockings in the tributary upstream. Very neat to see a big bow holding up in this creek full of browns

Damn, you're giving NJAngler a run for his money! Nice brown...but that bow, on the other hand, looks like it's been victim of the "quarantine 15 lbs" people keep talking about

Gorgeous brown! And yea, that bow has been eating well! Maybe having one too many hazy and calorie packed IPAs as well..... Oh wait thats me.

That rainbow is a real pig although that brown looks like a good fighter with that big tail. Which one fought harder?

Re: pot belly rainbow
that Rainbow hands down; it had runs and peeled drag, wasnt even in fast flowing water. Had me laughing and in denial when just expecting brownies.
Re: pot belly rainbow
Yeah, from that view, its a real monster. How long was the biggest brown and how long was that rainbow?

Re: pot belly rainbow
I didnt take time to measure fish that day, but the net is 24 inches from tip to the beginning of the handle, the long way. ill have to see what is is from side to side which is shorter in dimension.
Re: pot belly rainbow
The eyeball on that fish is huge!
