Default Merrill 5/23 Browns

Weather was just good enough to fish. Had my newbie buddy on the boat today slow trolling. First fish was the best. Fought him for a good 5 mins, drag screaming runs, 2 big jumps, then bulldogged me to the bottom. Got him close to the boat and it was a solid 30'brown super silvery. Newby went for the net way to early and doinked the line..heartbreaking. Waited out a thunderstorm for 30 mins and game on. First pic is 20" or so laker (hes lunch) pick 2 is 20"brown, pick 3- 24" about 4 lbs brown, Pic 4- 22" brown, pic-5 biggest landed 25"-5lb brown all released. Pic 3 and 4 had tags but we let them go fast didnt get the info. Had fish biting the whole time. You can see who were fishing for in the last pic lol. Gotta love the rain!!

I was thinking the same thing when I saw the pic. It had a pretty wide jaw whatever it was.
