thanks guys. got it on a 1/4oz thomas bouyant in brown trout color.
im working on getting the about 5 pounder i hooked yesterday as well.
i love brown trout. its just like fishing for stripers, i basically pretend im fishing needles the hole time. you can catch these at night too so its even better. they are in the top 3 of my favorite fish. such a freekin cool fish.
