Over the past few years, we’ve posted a ton of videos from Ben Sittig (a.k.a. Huge Fly Fisherman), and they’ve ranged from instructive to hilarious. But his latest features something most of us will never see: a river brown trout of truly epic proportions. On a float trip with some buddies, Ben is throwing a streamer on a sinking line. They catch a few nice ones, and then he lays into something he can barely believe. The fire drill in the raft and the long fight capture the craziness of it all. When it’s finally (sort of) in the net, you won’t believe it either. If you want to skip forward to the main even, skip ahead to 14:46.
Epic Fish, Ben! I about fell out of my chair the first time it got out of the net.
Congrats.
Ah..what river?

The trout’s name was Brownzilla.

Where R U. I used to teach FF. Only got one purple tho.
That’s awesome but you should come to Lake Ontario. You could catch a brown like that every trip to the river…
Definitely a pellet pig I recognize the background
You been there and done it huh? You hunt deer in a cage to I bet.
That was epic thank you. I enjoyed watching your video what a lot of fun.
This dude shreds!! I hope all the haters eats his dry fly dust! Dudes legendary out east worked fly shops , guided . All that teaching and hilarity pays off. Congrats on the whopper Ben!!
I second old pinner heading up to Salmon River this week with my good buddy. ” the cowboys “
Where did he catch the fish?
Hey ladies and gentlemen, my givin name is James Daniel Trout. Just you try to catch me! I’m 190 lbs. Of twisted steel head and sex appeal!!! It’s going to take more than a fly.
My name is James Daniel Trout. I’m a one purple recipient. President Reagan kicked me out of the United States Navy after Guatalma. I was the last man that tried to rescue my brothers. Eleven men swam back to our sub. That was a long night. Thank you for your service.
