What's the biggest fish you caught in the sierras? I think this thread might help others when they make the trek up to the sierras and give them a shot at a big fish!

Not a big fish, but I know I've hooked into bigger. I had one at convict laek once near the back of the lake on a blue Rapala CD 9... it had to be in the 8lb range...but I hooked the fish a little weird so when I reeled him in he was spinning and it came loose about 4 feet from the boat.

The biggest fish I evercaught was on January 13, 2002 on the Lower Owens south of line street. It weighed 9 1/2 pounds per the scale at the motel. Caught on a nightcrawler.
