Good job grinding it out Dusty for a couple of real nice browns! If it were easy everyone would be out there doing it , not too many want to go through a bad stretch, just want the rewards right away! Tight lines buddy
That’s awesome dude….. biggest tiger I ever had ahold of was a wild on in about the 16-17” range……it was pre-net for me & I went for the hand land & the hook popped out…… it’s pectoral fins were absolutely gigantic and it was in a stream that was not stocked so that’s how I was figuring it was wild! Good stuff but damn I was sick on that one! 🥴😔
I personally like a much shorter & stiffer action rod for flip cast accuracy & firmer hook sets on bigger fish! 👌 Couple that with my personal favorite a 500 series Shimano….. no bigger than a 1000 series & I run 8 lb Stren mono on them! 🤙
