After reading another post discussing a place with a reputation of producing browns of 28" to 30", it got me curious how many of the bruisers this size are caught.
As I stated in other posts, I love hunting big fish, and there is way more places that these fish exist than what most think. But, how many actually are caught? They get that big for a reason.
How many of you have landed a brown at 30" or more from a non great lakes trib stream? If so, many? How about others close to that mark 28" to 30"?
Don't care if you caught it spin fishing or fly-fishing. Just interested to hear others stories about this class of fish. Obviously, I don't expect nor am asking anyone to post specifically the waters where they caught their big fish.
I myself have literally devoted most of my fishing to hunting larger fish locally, and that being said, I have only got 1 over the 30" mark. In addition to that fish, I have gotten 2 at 29" and a few more 28"'s. The largest came from a well known limestoner, but some of the others were honestly from places that fly WAY under the radar.
