Congrats! Love that extended lower jaw of a very mature male brook trout. I can only imagine what a fish like that looks like in speak spawning colors! Before seeing where you caught it I could tell right away it was absolutely not a previous raceway fish by the appearance of the perfect fins! Awesome!
The water in the lake it came out of was clear black. The white bars on the front of the fins were gleeming white when I first saw him. The contrast was so vivid I was in awe. The hooked jaw, the brilliant halos on the dark body... I don't know if there is anything more beautiful than a brook trout.
Quebec here I come! Gorgeous fish. Does it hang on your wall?
