I just saw a picture that you posted of a 07 opening day Brown. Judging by the hook forming on the jawline, it looked like a really nice fish. I didn't get to go opening day 07,08,or09 but I don't remember snow. I was just wondering where and how big. Do you have favorite waters? I usually fish Alarka Creek in Swain county.
I will be out of town for the week have a good one.
