Personal best brown

[sstout]

Decided to hit the lake for a few hours this morning. Glad I did. Had a decent laker on early, then a smaller landlocked. All of a sudden my two rigger rods tangle together. Weird. I start hand lining one in to see if its tangled on something, and notice theres something on it. By this point I'm too far in handling to stop. All of a sudden the line gets real tight and I realize I am fighting the biggest brown yet, by hand. When all was said and done, theres stuff thrown everywhere in the boat, my coffee spilled all over the floor, and theres a 9 lb brown in the cooler. What a crazy morning. Oh, and I'm fishing solo. 9 lbs according to my scale in the boat. 30ft of water, jointed rapala

Thanks everyone. The kype was pretty cool on this fish. It's the biggest brown I've caught out of cayuga yet.
