nice catch, congrats!
Caught a Good Rainbow Yesterday at Maramec
Since the weather was nice, I decided to pick up the trout rod one more time before I direct my attention towards deer for the next month. Saturday was derby day and I know they stock several lunkers on that day. With the crappy weather making it hard to sight fish, I figured there may have been a few left overs on Sunday.
It was around noon when I got down there and it didn't take me long to spot a lunker set up next to the edge of weeds. Two casts later with an olive micro jig and I was hooked up. The fish didn't make any big runs or anything and just wallowed around on the surface for a while before I was able to coax in between two big weed patches and in to my net. It weighed 5.25# on the park scale and 5# even on my digital scale. The crazy thing is that it was only 19" long and had a 14.5" girth. It's one of the fattest trout I have ever caught.
