That's what she said when I showed it to her. Really.
Went to Irvine yesterday and caught one fish. One big ol' 15 lb. 10 oz. rainbow trout. Contrary to the Irvine website, the bait was not a power mouse, but an inflated nightcrawler with gulp bait on the hook (I slide the crawler up the line and it kinda sticks to the dough bait that covers the hook. He put up a real good fight. Special thanks to my neighbor, John, who got the net out of my truck, and the other fella whose name I didn't get, who provided a net that could actually accommodate the beast. Also the lake staff. All very nice folks.
I'm attaching some pics and I think they'll appear below. The fish was 2' 7" long, 8" tall, and 4" wide. The fillets were thicker than a flank steak and more like a point cut brisket. For size comparison, I used a fender stratocaster.
This is my PB by a long shot for anything freshwater, my prev. for a trout was a little under 4lbs.
