I CAUGHT THE FISH OF A LIFETIME!! (30 + Inch Brown Trout!)
I ALMOST BROKE THE STATE RECORD!
After a handful of last second decisions we ended up at a creek in West Virginia. We grabbed our fly rods and a box of streamers and started fishing up the creek in search of some small stream wild brown trout. What happened next surprised both of us. I caught the brown trout of a lifetime at 30.5 inches. The State Record is currently 32 inches for the state of West Virginia and this fish was only an inch and a half away. Brown Trout of this caliber don't get caught often, in fact I can't name anyone who has caught a brown trout over 30 inches in the last decade.
ROD: St. Croix Legend Elite Freshwater (9 foot 8 wt)
REEL: Lamson Liquid
FLY: Cheech Leech Streamer (light tan)
I obviously know people are going to question the legitimacy of the catch. With any big fish we've ever caught people always say the fish isn't actually as big as we say it is or that we somehow cheated to get it. I invite you to watch other videos and see that this was no accident. Although I may have gotten lucky, we do know what we are doing.
I also am not sorry for blurring out parts of the video. The fish is more important than the minor annoyance.
I hope everyone enjoys the video! Please don't forget to like, comment, and subscribe!
