mhall02 Posted October 31, 2005 Posted October 31, 2005 Biggest was back in the summer of '90, a 28" rainbow just below Rebar, I was at C of O at the time and went down there more than I should have as a student (but the oh the memories). Caught it on 4 lb test on a spinning rod using a 1/64 oz black jig. Took and pic and put it back.
Members Andrew Schaefer Posted November 1, 2005 Members Posted November 1, 2005 I caught a 27.5 inch Brown across from cooper creek a couple augusts ago. I've had chases and strikes from fish that big since but have never conected. I have no idea what it weighed but it wasn't skinny. A tip for using soft plastics for big trout: the ones I've seen don't inhale it like a bass, so it helps to use a stinger rig like walleye fishermen use. For rainbows probably 18-19 inches, still waiting to connect with a larger one.
motroutbum Posted November 2, 2005 Posted November 2, 2005 my biggest brown is 10 lbs 26in long, and my biggest rainbow is about 9 lbs 28 in long both on scuds. neither were gut eaters as i only wade below the dam to the mdc boat dock, and both were released unharmed. There are two types of people. Those who dream dreams and wish, then there are the do'ers. I am a do'er!
