Nice video! I'm from Labrador and was fishing yesterday and caught my biggest searun brook trout. A whopping 7lbs!!! It was only a hair over 24" long, but almost 16" girth! The fish pass directly through North West River where I live for 3 weeks in spring. It's exciting to try predicting the times and places where they hold up. Yesterday I was at the right place at the right time 🎣
