Don't be sorry this thread needed saving, Becker actually said he was looking forward to eating trout. Haha. What the heck...one thing about San Carlos you never knew what you would catch. Caught a 40lb flathead on 4lb line and a 1/16 oz crappie jig. Caught a framing hammer, no joke...swear I have a pic of it some where. Also caught a giant turtle. Thing had to be 2ft across, and man was he pisses off. Brian

Sorry OP and others for the derailment of the thread away from Brown Trout. Back to it fellas. Anyone got any pics of the those big browns being caught? Brian

I'd post em up but I'm out checking cages.

Dink!!!!!

Ha ha!!! Guys if i had the choice tomorrow i would trade any 105 to 110 buck with a rifle for a 25 inch type brown from a creek in az tomorrow. There isnt a 110 buck walking that could rattle my nerves like a 25 inch type brown from a creek. I like fishing that much, and a giant trout from az is much much much harder to find than any 110 buck. There's so many 110 bucks in this state it's not even funny, but there's so so few really big trout. 25 inch trout are about as rare as a 130 buck in my mind. I live in the White Mountains. I grew up catching trout. I've caught a bunch of big trout. Caught some good ones out of Sunrise this past year. However, I can't hardly stand to go trout fishing anymore. I'd rather catch a 2lb crappie than a 20+" trout, but that's just me. I've been trying to to catch a 3lb+ crappie most of my life and can't get it done. That's what gets my motor running. Its just interesting (sometimes funny) to see everyone's views and opinions on different things and what they are passionate about. Brian really, fish san carlos much? i feel like ive caught dozens of 3lbers. i only weighed one on an electric berkley scale 3.14oz. I fished it more than probably anyone on this site. Breaks my heart with the fish kill off. I constantly came across people on the lake that say they have crappie that weigh over three pounds till you break out the scale. I can't remember a single one that made it over 2.5. I have family that have caught 3 total. Until the scale goes on them I take their word with a grain of salt. Brian

Ha ha!!!

The secondary's issues came to light after Tyrann Mathieu went down with the knee injury. His presence in the secondary couldnt be replaced. Brian

Theres lots of pigs in 23. There will be alot of people also but tons of country. Just be patient and keep glassing and you will find them. Brian

The door has a lock on it to keep it from coming up. Im still not exactly sure how he did it. I tried for an hour and it takes lots of strength to get it open. Sly indeed. Needless to say, I spent today modifying door locks. Briqn

I hope the fish in sunrise don't winter kill this year. We caught a mess of good fish last spring there. Good luck. Brian

You can have your 340 bull....I only wanna go for the strippers. With trphyhntr I know there will be some. But unfortunately with only two points, I can't handle the cover charge. Brian

Remington 600 Mohawk .243.

So...this lottery is like the Hunger Games lottery right? Who ever wins, I can volunteer as tribute and take their spot. Brian

What!?!?! No hookers and cocaine!!!! Brian

It'll probably be like the one we have here in Show Low. Brian.

Now if you would have had a cat in one of those cages it would have been an all time favorite pic. Nice bucks. Brian

They had them least year. I know a couple people that had the later 3A hunt last year. Brian

Great deer and great story Phil. Brian

Ive got 13" on the flat here at my house in Lakeside. Calling for another 6-10" overnight. Brian

I'm going to get an archery tag this year. Ive Got enough points. Brian

If I had it to do on all over again, I would have moved to a closer point that was 137 yards from the buck. I would have been able to see him and shoot him in his bed. Checked it out after he spooked. But being by myself I was afraid to lose sight of where he was especially when I was in range and just needed him to get up and take a few steps. Always can second guess yourself. Brian

Hour and a half later had a group of cows come down the ridge he was on and run right through the middle of him and he ran out of the country. Made me sick. That's the way my hunting season has gone all year. So that was my last chance, season done for me. Brian

I wanna be in LOL !!! Brian
