I had an RDO today & managed to coax a couple of mates to bring their Kayaks to Lake Barrington.

We peddled or paddled about 14Ks for the day & got this.







About 80cm of Brown Trout that went 3.2Kgs gutted.

When we got back to our launch point we caught up with some other fishos in their power boat & they reckon it would have to be one of the biggest brown trout they had seen.

I don't know anything about trout but that looks like a monster!

Thats one heck of a brown trout by any standard, congrats and good eating

That is a beautiful and big fish! What did you catch it with?

With the orange lure in the bottom of the boat. A tassie devil.

The dial thingy with string on? What is it? Between the fishes SPAM fin and the tas devil. Am a nosey bugger. Nice fish looks a bit skinny Wonder what it woulda weighed witha bit more meat on it. Am coming to Tas for a week in November or so. Leave a few for me.
Cheers John.

LMAO the filter decided the fishes A-N_AL fin was rude

Duh! Stupid me! I didn't even see it the first time. I was too busy looking at how big the fish was! Thanks.

Yes it is very slabby & it would have been a monster if it was in good nick. It also had a bent back & some big scars as well. I dont know how old they get but this one must be up there with the oldest of them.

Is this the same fish that we call a brown trout in the US?
