My little brother had a tournament in south VA so I hit a stream early beforehand. Stream has running high and discolored, but found some trout willing to play. Only one Brown wanted to tango, and it was a nice one. Around the 15/16 inch mark and made a run into some fast riffles where he came unbuttoned. Caught a bunch of rainbows and am odd ball northern hogsucker that fought like a champ. Thought it was a big brown until I saw it's discoloration and fins.
Thats a cool looking sucker! Nice bows too. Happy New years to ya.
