Got a big one this afternoon....WEIGHT was just shy of 8 lb.

I am lucky enough to catch a breeder or two each year....honestly, usually on the same lure. An f5 rapala. Anyway, got a 24 inch rainbow. I am guessing around 5 lbs. Got a few average trout too. UPDATE on weight....old timer I gave to weighed it. He said just shy of 8lb. Shocked.

You wouldn't smile if you knew how much those hip waders cost.

Nice.  I bet the fillets are going to be orange on that one.

Not sure, gave it to an old timer to eat. I will ask. I am still unsure what the reason is for flesh color.....some day diet, age, ,& environment
