I’m a total amateur and this is my first trout in 15 years. Caught in the Prairie River in N Wisconsin, a smallish inland stream.
I knew this was a big trout for the body of water, but people are telling me this might have been a trophy quality fish? I only had time to quickly snap this picture because I wanted a healthy release, and it swam away strong.
Beginners luck! What would you estimate this brookie’s length is? Would you consider this approaching trophy size for a native stream brook? Felt like a keeper walleye size in my hands.

I live in north central Wisconsin and that’s a very nice brook!! My biggest brook I’ve ever caught was 19 in and that was amazing! It looks like 16-19 in so that’s a good fish! Id definitely take pictures and put it in a frame at least! Good job dude
