Atlantic Salmon have a v in their tail fin. That fish is a brown trout. Still a tasty treat. Good job.

You guys beat me to it. Thats a brown trout, and a NICE one.

Still got you a grand slam - AWESOME.

Yep, nice bonus brown. Good job and thanks for the report!

I agree with everyone else, definitely a brown. Here is a pic of an Atlantic we caught this spring for reference.

Gnarf, thanks for the report...nice brown!

Q: Are you using a Mag MS Flounder Pounder behind your dipsy? Also, what color of dispy do you happen to be using with the Flounder Pounder?

Thanks for any info you can give.

[Gnarf]

It must be a species of brown i havent seen before?

It didnt have spots on its adipose and its jaw didnt extend well past the eye and no spots on tail?

Looks a lot like pictures of atlantics ive seen but i dunno.

Feel free to prove me wrong. Id like to know forsure which

Brown Trout Definitely ck out this one caught by Jim in Milwaukee

Thats one nice looking Brown, the brown in gnarfs pic is a Seeforellen Brown

[wild at heart]

Dont worry Joe. With 4 or 5 different speices of browns running around you see some major variations. Chances of getting an Alantic this far south is pretty slim. We had 2 browns that were 8 and 9# in the Brown Blast 4 years ago that you would never of thought were the same species. If fact we thought one was a spring king until we got back in the harbor to take pictures and saw the square tail and white mouth. Gained us some bonus points though.

Here's a brown the guy next to me caught off the pier in GH in early May this spring. Long and slender like an atlantic but was the size of a king. It's lighter in color like yours. BTW this thing tipped the scale at 17lbs...in May...and look how skinny it was! Can't imagine what it would have weight in Oct/Nov. The guy quite fishing after he caught it and left to go get it mounted. He had only been there for about 45 minutes too.
