Thanks for the kind words. After inspecting her, all of her fins were fully intact and showed no signs of scarring or "hatchery wear". I've seen some nice sized browns this year--my 6+ lb'er in June, my friends' 8.3 lb'er and 6+lb'er in the last few weeks--and none have had so much gold colorization. I also couldnt get over the size of her head and mouth--it was massive. It was truly awesome watching her swim away, too.
