My dad caught and released this big hen brown this winter at Stampede res. She was just shy of ten pounds. My dad's biggest so far!! Another big one on a box stock black/gold F13 rapala, it is usually the only plug he will run. He always says big browns are opportunistic feeders and if they are ready to eat any lure will work.
