Fish of a lifetime for sure! Awesome Brown - thanks for sharing!
Awesome fish. Great job landing it. Thanks for releasing. You’re a true sportsman.
Great to see Matts enthusiasm and how he quickly caught and released his fish of a lifetime and released it to grow bigger !
Great effort!!! I taught my sons to always dive to save the pizza and a great fish !!!! Beautiful Brownie !
That's what keeps you coming back !
Well played young man 👍
Thousand thanks for releasing this wonderfull fish. You are real naturefriend. Greetings from here Finland. Visited there 1990 when our son were jobbing in Ca.
I love the way you kept your composure when you landed it! 😂😂😂 well done amazing fish 👍
Great to see a catch and release. Fishing for the future. Well done sir.
How does this video not have more views? Unbelievable fish
Best part , he releases the magnificent fish back in the stream....!
Catch and release, kept the smile.
Nicely done.
That was extraordinary. Reminds me of that line from Jaws- "Ok, ok, You’re Gonna Need A Bigger NET"
A fish like that one is one for a lifetime... no matter how many fish you may catch over the many years , it's ones like this that keeps you coming back... Beautiful fish and outstanding skills of Matt ... 👍👍👍
Matt, Congrats on this fish. For that size creek and that strain of fish this is a trophy in anyone's eyes and honestly jumping on the fish is even better because if I caught that with light weight tackle I would do just the same. You kicked ass and an amazing fish brotha!
when i was learning to fish, i was told that the small little creeks, streams, rivers held some of the best fish
Beautiful fish!! Congrats!! I have swamped my waders for much smaller fish lol!
I loved it! It brought back memories of me and my cousin fly fishing 35 years ago. He hooked a massive rainbow and had an identical fight and landing. I was laughing so hard that I also fell in the river. LMAO
Loving this Matt - congrats to all your success.
whoa...!! nice catch an release....* while you were spoolin' ,,,,,I was droolin'.... thumbs up !!! ;-)
Fantastic fish and I would jump in after it too. Thanks for posting the vid - loved it.
Beautiful creature. Survived for years to reach that size.
You're a good man, Matt, letting that fish go, awesome !!
Fantastic catch, man! Thanks for letting her go. She'll make someone as happy as you were, somewhere down the road.
Congrats!especially for letting it go after the catch

Caught a huge German Brown on the Merced just below Yosemite many years back. There's nothing like it cuz native GB's are hard to come by and you'll remember it for life! Your'e the man Matt.
Nice work. Like the way you went in to get it too.
Congrats Matt. My friend Eric said “ya notice he doesn’t tell us where!” 😊 What a beauty. Many more tight lines to an honest angler.
Will definitely be hitting you up for guide next trip to Tahoe!

Ty for releasing that beautiful fish .
janie whiteside : The fish are there to be eaten. Not to catch and play with! That would have been a great meal, dont you think?

That was fun, thanks! The fish never thank you for letting them go, do they?
Beautiful fish. Congrats.
Very nice brown trout loved the video
well done, lovely fish, nice release
MATT come over to New Zealand and catch some of our horses...lol.... If you don't catch anything you can play for the ABs with a tackle like that...lol....
What a beautiful fish thank you for sharing.
Interesting landing technique lol. Monster brown dude, just subbed!
Been fishing for 60 years never once have I went in after a fish. To me it's a sign of panic, you must play a fish all fish will turn over if you play them properly. Just as an anecdote there is trout caught I'n Scotland that have been up to 40 lbs and as far as I know everyone has been let go. I Think its desperate to go to these lengths to land a fish. At the end of the day give the fish a chance. Sorry if
I upset you but its the way I feel.
One of the most beautiful classic browntrouts I`ve ever seen. And I`ve seen a few....thanks for posting!
