Uh....

How big do those brown trout get over in your neck of the woods???

Wholly Crap - that Toad is a TOAD! I'd trade that for a 20 pound steelhead *any* day.

Nice damn fish, dude.
Those browns can get pretty big, I think that the state record for MI is 34lbs but anything over 15 is usually considered a nice trophy fish. The browns surely do not fight like any steelhead of its size, they like to bulldog it out more and staydown rather than torque and do aerials. Here is another pig that I pulled out of the surf this past May on my centrepin rig while fishing for summerrun steel. This one was 21 lbs and was shy of the indiana state record by 2 lbs.
