Finally, the big one that didn't get away. I started recording about a minute or two into the fight, I missed a couple of huge aerials but got a few other good jumps on tape. I'm winded cause I had to chase this guy before he stood and fought. Big browns are to be expected on the Truckee, but big bows are a treat! Got this guy in Reno...in town; I get lazy sometimes and just fish the closest holes, but then again, why go to the CA side when there are 2-foot long fish right in town!

  • They're wild alright, fight like made. You can tell when they're planters, they're fins are all jacked and they don't have any red.

  • This was actually in Nevada, still in town.

  • I fabricated a simple aluminum bracket which I bite down on, the camera is at the level of my jaw and I'm able to film anything I'm looking at from a true 1st person perspective. Thanks for the comment!

  • Nice camera angle there, and great looking fish!

  • nice fish :D

  • @trotchye It was BIG. It swam as fast as it could down stream, almost pulled the rod out of my hand and went under a rock, snapping the line

  • @MrFishingrocks Hi kiddo, how did you know it was a 7pounder if u didn't land it? Just curious :) Anyway, glad u were having a good time.

  • Are these wild fish? Wow, these are some big bows!

  • What were you using? Like a copper john or something? And what time of year are you fishing in when there's still snow and the rainbows are really colorful? Thnx

  • About three months ago I was fishing with my dad in the nevada side of the truckee, and the browns were spawning. He caught three HUGE rainbows that were abot 24" and 5 pounds. Then at sunset i hooked and lost a 7 pound brown trout in the same pool, and I'm only 11, and it was my 2nd time flyfishing :)

  • cool, i love fishing the truckee. Is this in California?
