November 27, 2012

I was trolling on Lake Erie at the mouth of a small tributary when this brown struck a Rapala right at dusk. It measured 26 inches,my biggest brown ever and the only fish of the night. We quickly took a few photos in the waning light and released the fish. As i watched the brown swim off into the sunset, I knew that the evening of trolling was worth it.
