Great video, thank you!

Beautiful. How old do you estimate that fish?

Gig em!

That's Awesome!! Man what a Gorgeous healthy fish.. Really like that smile it gave you too. I'm happy you were chosen by this fish, Some people don't have the love it takes to make sure it's about the care and release of these big fish, they fight hard and it does take time and patience to make sure they are good to go after a catch. Congratulations Jude !!!!

Hey, can you please make a video on how to perform the double haul? Thank you!!!!!

What a beauty. And the fish is nice too.

Congratulations.

Great catch!! When I was a kid my dad would catch 30”-+ browns & rainbows all the time in the Ruidoso/ Hondo river NM. But it seems like ever since the NMDGF started stocking the Triploid trout, there’s not any wild trout in the rivers here Southern New Mexico.

That’s a great fish man! Awesome!!

Awesome fish and great story! There are not many female fishers out there, happy to see you sharing her story. I floated the San Juan last year with a friend, it was a lot of fun. Heading up to Yellowstone next week and I'm stealing a day away from family to sneak over to try my luck on the Madison River, it would be awesome to land some big trout.

Yes you were blessed by the lord for catching that fish.

Great story about this fish. You both did an awesome job!

I don't fly fish and rarely fish for trout but what an amazing and heartwarming story. Memories made for a lifetime with a beautiful fish. Thanks for sharing the experience.

Those are some healthy looking fish.

Wow! Nice story!👍😎

What a great story and told so well. I couldn't stop watching! What an amazing fish and an amazing young woman willing to go out there on her own to try her hand at the craft of fly fishing!

😎👍

This is the kind of shit that happens when people are nice, humble, kind and generous to each other. Be a real human, be nice. Karma is real!❤❤❤

Unrelated but similar experience. When my granddaughter turned 9, I got her started in Cowboy Action Shooting. By her third year she won a national championship for her age category. The training went very well. Many times teaching a woman is much easier than a guy. They tend to listen & pay attention better. They don't usually act like they already know a lot about what you are teaching. Similar to your experience with Sarah. Same with my daughter.

Such an awesome story. Thank you Jude for investing into other anglers, and great job Sarah on a fish of a life time.

HOT DAMN! Didn't know it was a state record, congrats again Jude!

Nice fish- looks cold! What's the brand name of the vest you are using?

Awesome footage 🤩

Wowza. What state was that in?

Nice trip 🐟 🎣 . Looks like a great day on the water

Wicked ! 🔥 Great fish bruh!

Good job bro!

Beautiful colorful fish Jude. Well done.

I've never seen spots like that on a browntrouts tail.

Awesome catch! What was the weight and length of the trout?

The Kraken!

Jude the Dude! Right on!

Great story for great people. Aloha spirit stuff❤️❤️❤️

beautiful story. happy a pnw baby got to enjoy that! love, from west coast.

What a story! Congratulations! God bless you both!

So glad it was not caught on a salmon egg with a Zebco closed faced reel!

Awesome catch and release.

Great story! What is also mind bending about this is that a fish that size is still eating bugs! You've got to love that about trout.

Hopefully the next angler that meets this fish releases it too

What an incredible story - thank you for sharing that experience with us Sarah and Jude.

Hope it lived…….. lots of dry fortes bear hugs and grip and grins…..

Like many of you all, I too had many experiences fishing the San Juan, and caught many big trout. BUT The one that got away was MASSIVE, Snapping my line in flight as it had breached the water. I WILL NEVER FORGET THAT MOMENT.

Sick what an awesome fish.

My dad, Buddy Belt, would take me with him to fish the San Juan when I was little. He had two hogs mounted and displayed in his store. One brown and one Rainbow. A nod to you dad for the great memories. Joshua 1:9 John 3:16

Awesome!!!

Congrats to Sarah and Jude for capturing one of the giants. These are the fish that beat all the odds, they are the greats, the dinosaurs. What an honor it must have been. That is a connection with the earth and the wild you will never forget. I think it is safe to say the entire fishing community thanks you for your excellent care in handling and release too. Well done!

Share and the share comes back... E

Pure magic. Wonderful story.

Fished the San Juan many times. I've seen the big browns feeding on rainbows twice, but I have never caught one. Great Catch and story!

Wow! Thats what it’s all about- That whole story was beautiful too! Congrats to you both. :)
