Nice fish Allen!
i guess i can't complain since i didn't vote, but how did a very attractive woman with an even more attractive steelhead lose to someone i don't want to run into alone in the woods. maybe his sleeves fell off fighting that monster trucha??
Congrats to the winners. All nice fish, maybe some day I will get sotm hog to enter. The salt will get it one of these days. I do beleive salt has one it before. Anyone know for sure? I think it was a leapard shark or something.
Awesome lineup. Three fish of a lifetime, no doubt. Well done all.
Thanks Chum Nation! I have to say that this fish has been a point of contention ever since half of the people at our wedding offered way more congratulations over the fish than over the fact that we were married. Two catches of a lifetime in one week! You got my name wrong- no "e" in Hart. Looking forward to trying out the metal bar boots, and hoping to land another SOTM entry soon. Propers to Adam, who not only won 3rd place, but was also the net-man on my big brown. Big fish just follow that guy around.
Props to two of my best friends and their insane fish...I was lucky enough to be there and take the photo of Ben's fish and the picture doesn't do it justice...sickest brown I've ever seen. Like Ben said
Debruin seems to just attract fish like this on a regular basis. Missoula represent !
