It was a Brown (it was taped & tightline was there to witness), also my largest Rainbow on the bow was 22" (taped). P Just lie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerryH Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 Just lie like everyone else. Chris, you should probably have two separate polls, one for taped fish and one for non-taped. My guess is there would be a 3" difference in the averages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swede Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 Well all post this in here about 27 or 28 based on a quick measurement on my rod and checked a few mins after release with a tape. Not quite as nice as my Red Deer River browns ,the biggest I cant post because as I was posing for a photo he decided to slap me across the face with his tale and escaped. Got the picture but not very flattering for me or the fish. No worries he landed in about 8 feet of water and was gone. Thats one thing I force myself to do is stay in the water when handling fish.

darrinhurst Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 A brown in the 19" - 20" range. I don't carry a tape measure, and use my net opening as a guide. I figure it was about 19-20" as the opening is 17.5" long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reevesr1 Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 Brown 26.5". Actually I've got two at 26.5. Measured against the rod. Rainbow 25" (biggest also 26.5, but not on the bow). Caught the rainbow the same day as the first of the big browns. I also caught the biggest sucker I've ever caught on the same day. Some sort of obscure trifecta.
