Repeat Offender Brown
Managed to catch this brown the other day for the second time, the first being in September 2015 (bottom photo). Not something you see very often in the larger river systems. He was holding in a totally different spot as well, which made the experience a little more unique. He has a little more wear on his cheek and a little larger head but is still doing quite well. Hopefully he continues to avoid the baldies and ospreys. Until we meet again old friend.

I didn't think of it until I was driving home and compared later.

That is amazing! Congrats! I compared as much as I can be clearly the same fish with the markings.

How do you know they are the same fish? Most fish of the same species and size look the same to me. Thanks.

My understanding is that markings on fish are unique. While the 2nd pic is a bit dark, take a close look at the spotting pattern on the gill plate...those look pretty similar to me
Hint, start at the bottom of the gill plate and work up...

Correct, all browns have unique spotting patterns. Big, angry, buttery snowflakes.

IF all fish do indeed have a slightly different spot pattern like fingerprints, then I agree with you about it likely being the same fish. The spots look identical.
