Hawgstoppah Posted April 14, 2010 Posted April 14, 2010 Now I believe you. LOL weedy. good point... lmao... I wonder if the fella I was guiding the day before who hooked it and lost it after an epic battle frequents this site? It was then that we called that huge bull the "deisel" and the day later (april 1st, 2004) that it was caught in the same place. Anyone who calls BS on that picture, whatever....... why are you stuck on the idea that everyone (all 9 of us) that have makred a bow river fish over 30 have got browns? 2 of my 3 are bulls. I happen to know another guy who wouldn't lie if you told him you were going to shoot him in the face, has gotten a rainbow WELL over 30 from the bow. He no longer visits this site much, too damn bad... he was a wealth of information... Keep the big fish pics coming guys... and for those who doubt, ignore 'em! The same people always try and sh** on everyone else's parade...
Tungsten Posted April 14, 2010 Posted April 14, 2010 I'm sure there are alot of photo's of 30"+browns from the Bow.There on film and the background gives away the spot.
seby Posted April 14, 2010 Posted April 14, 2010 Hope this works, This is a pic of not my biggest but a 24"(taped)brown caught during a heavy caddis hatch at about 11pm one late July night, was very memorable.

seby Posted April 14, 2010 Posted April 14, 2010 On another note. Whats every ones smallest trout caught out of the bow. This little guy was caught on a caddis in Aug last year. Took on the first drift, looked larger when it rose right next to shore above me. LOL What do you think 4 inches

dryfly Posted April 14, 2010 Posted April 14, 2010 Well Chris THAT certainly brings new meaning to the phrase, "pecker head." I vote you are best moderator of the year. PS: I am suing the cartoonist who stole my identity.
daxlarsen Posted April 14, 2010 Posted April 14, 2010 hmm lol I think you better moderate yourself for a photo of poor fish handling procedure lol. On the other hand, maybe the fish liked it. Was he wagging his tail (I'm assuming it was and that's why it's in your pants)
Garlicmarshmellow Posted April 16, 2010 Posted April 16, 2010 They guy who did/may of broken the Alberta record for a Brown (released but weighed by f+w techs previously) caught the fish out of a significantly smaller stream than the Bow. 31.5 inches. Seen the pic and still use the rod he caught it on. So a fish out of the bow >30 inches is highly likely. From reading this thread I believe to catch one of these monsters, stats show that you should leave your camera at home except Hawgstopper who is the exception to the rule. PS that pic gives new meaning to the phase" Is it in yet"
bigalcal Posted April 16, 2010 Posted April 16, 2010 N/A......................... never fished it. Heard it's good!
daxlarsen Posted April 16, 2010 Posted April 16, 2010 N/A......................... never fished it. Heard it's good! mmm meh, it's ok I guess.....

PS that pic gives new meaning to the phase" Is it in yet" I heard it was taken from a Beaver pond, no? I remember Brian's bull trout...the first time I saw that pic the words Holy **** just kept coming out of my mouth over and over. It remains the most impressive memory I have of a Bow River fish yet. We don't even bother with pictures of fish unless they're taped over 23 inches. That's where our biggest sit right now. But the new fish kharma of our new boat is gonna change that this year - and I'll have my camera ready for this same thread at the end of the season. See ya then.

Aguabonita Posted April 17, 2010 Posted April 17, 2010 Here's one to drool over... the fish that is. Yes, caught with garlic marshmellow's rod (had seen very fish before this one). Bow River tributary... 31.5" absolute pig, fattest fish I've ever seen. I couldn't resist, can't have anyone thinking the bow system doesn't grow some monsters. Dean
Hawgstoppah Posted April 17, 2010 Posted April 17, 2010 thanks for posting that for the non believers, hey does anyone happen to have that newspaper article of the massive brown taken from the carburn pond? it was 34 inches ... and a bow river fish. And (shockingly enough) less than a mile from the location I hit a monster like it.... if anyone clipped that article that would be awesome if they could post it. cheers.
Hawgstoppah Posted April 17, 2010 Posted April 17, 2010 and aqua. stellar fish. you got that look on your face like... holy shiznit... did this just happen?

Dean That'd be the one I thought it was....didn't you find that guy in a Beaver Pond though Dean? Brian - I have what you're looking for on my downstairs computer somewhere....I'll try and find it and post it....been a few years. Great memories guys!
Avalanche Posted April 17, 2010 Posted April 17, 2010 That'd be the one I thought it was....didn't you find that guy in a Beaver Pond though Dean? Sort of a beaver pond. I remember when, why and where this happened. Was supposed to be there that day but for some reason I had to back out...
Taco Posted April 17, 2010 Posted April 17, 2010 Absolute pig hen and on a mr twister... like feather jigs myself I thought it was Dean who caught it but it don't matter, helluva fish
Aguabonita Posted April 17, 2010 Posted April 17, 2010 Was Dean on bunny leach with Garlic marshmellow's rod (all 3 of my rods were broke and had to borrow Jid's rod). In stream above the beaver pond it was reported to be in, could have been a resident fish... may also have put on some beef in the Glenmore reservoir and moved upstream to spawn. Whatever its background, it was a veritable monster and I'd be very surprised if I land another brown of that calibre... I'd say there's more where it came from...
Taco Posted April 17, 2010 Posted April 17, 2010 Thanks and veritable monster is right. Had good eats and good place to hide during daylight to get that big. Caught a 8-9lb brown hen in a shin-tangle bog from hell on a hair jig a couple yrs ago, about gave me a heart attack, gawdamn crick was 4' wide
