Length of trout?

Length of trout? - 10/16/14 12:37 AM

Well my buddy and I had a few minutes before I had to fly out of Colorado so we decided to fish a mountain stream. Wouldn't you know it I caught my biggest ( well only ) Brown trout ever. I snapped a crappy photo real quick but we didn't have a tape before I released it. My buddy guessed 18" but could any of you photo experts give me your opinion? Thanks!

A credit card is 3 3/8" long, and the standard business card is 3.5"x2".

Use a certain body part. The fish should go at least 24".

It's not so much how big the fish is, but how big the grin is on your face smile

Nice fish!

I I'm going with 16 arms bent fish fairly close this fish was right at 19 when browns get over 17 they grow up in hight as well. Great fish for sure congratulations on your first Brown. I fly fish for trout 25-35 days a year and have seen a bunch.
