Members brianbarker Posted March 17, 2008 Members Posted March 17, 2008 I can see it now...elbow to elbow fishing in the C&R zone,looking for that 32 incher LOL HAHA Its C&R so they can stack up all they want I guess. Hes gone along with the other huge rainbow too, don't know where they took them. Still a handful over 5 but nothing like there used to be in there. Mostly stockers and fish under 12 inches... but a few tucked under the logs that are over 20. I caught the only 2 bigger ones I could find last trip, 03/09. Good fishin' "Your chances of ever catching a record fish increase in direct proportion to your distance from a reliable scale"
ekl-stl Posted March 17, 2008 Posted March 17, 2008 She is still there, and measured 33" this weekend.. She was roaming around the last hour of the day on Friday.. Caught her on a double bunny.. I found out that the fish will not only go under the hatchery dump out.. but up into the hatchery dump out and well up into it.. she took me all the way to my backing up in there.. beautiful fish, she was really stressed when I finally landed her.. took a few minutes to get her back to being active and then she went back under the logs..
Gene K Posted March 17, 2008 Posted March 17, 2008 Very nice! That's one big girl. Glad you took your time reviving her. No photos?
ekl-stl Posted March 17, 2008 Posted March 17, 2008 No photos.. I had attracted a crowd along with the fact that she was looking very tired.. My worry was that she wouldnt make it.. I do have photos of the 31" that I caught about a half hour later.. I will get it up tonight or tomorrow...
Members Pastor Posted March 17, 2008 Author Members Posted March 17, 2008 The one that I caught in 04 was a large male with a hooked jaw. He also was very tired after the fight so I did not take much time to admire him. my measurement might be off one way or the other. Didn't matter about that still the fish of my life, to date. can't wait to see your photo. The Great Commission Was To Go Fish-n
