The all time record brown trout for bennett is an 18 pound 5 ounce caught by jack buschacher in 08. The all time record rainbow is a 15 pound even caught by myself in 92. I landed the rainbow on 7x umpqua tippet.

I knew there was a reason I liked you!

Now if I could just remember what it was.. lol

Earlier in the year there was a very large male rainbow in the root wad hole (near bank) across from the gauge house in Zone 1. Have not seen it lately. It was the biggest fish I saw this year. Easily 10 lbs. I got taken into the backing in the high bank area in Zone 2 during last year's CR. Saw the fish .... brown .... she made a run into the weeds and pulled off. I'm guessing a 7-8 lb.

In the river .... I agree with Wrench .... I haven't brought to hand anything over 18" in a long time. I did roll a nice fish last fall on down from the island on a slumpbuster .... that fish was big but she didn't stay pinned. PC
