    Well I'd love to say I caught a 2.8lb brown... but I can't claim it all I did was throw it out of river and put it in my bag.. Dog did it all She chased it from Rapids to this little sidling Got it to ankle deep then held it with her paws I only had time to drop rod and run up to claim the catchNot taking her fishing again

    Good question as it wasn't caught with a rod and reel, is it classed as foul hooked, perhaps a more astute trout fisherman could answer that question . It did however just seem to land at my feet, and went down well as a shared dinner

    I would be surprised if it was legal by definition, but if it was taken by a licenced angler I wouldn't be too fussed. It is still not what you would call cricket though.

    That fish flesh looks like mudfish.

    Hawkes Bay trout for comparison

    Nice and tidy filleting job as well mate.
    Our browns down here can be a pale colour unless sea run.
    I usually only see orange flesh like that on rainbows in the back country or salmon. I don't target trout normally. Kids love catching them tho.

    Definitely not a cricket, but a brown trout...
