Cayuga Cayuga 17lb Brown

[WildLaker607]

My buddy hooked this 17 pound 3 ounce brown trout, shore casting a small swimbait. It was 32” long and 20” around the belly, super fat. I bent the handle of my net lifting it up on the dock. Largest brown I’ve seen out of Cayuga

The fish was not in very good shape after such a long fight, it has made a couple great meals already

Its as much of a brown as it gets (e.g. square tail, type and arrangements of spots, position of eye etc.

Mine isn't quite accurate as its original pic but a freebee as part of the derby win so no complaint (16.18 lbs) As Wild Lakers beauty indicates there are some really nice ones in the Fingers too.
