No CPR here!

Personal Best Rainbow, 28.5" from Hagg Lake.  Caught on a shoelace dipped in glarlic scent. 

I can picture my wife a couple weeks from now, looking in the fridge with a perplexed frown, saying "what's with the shoelaces in the jar of minced garlic??!!" "Beats me" I respond And then, as she takes a closer look "They look like pink laces... like the pink laces on my walking shoes..."  "KARL!!"

I think instead, maybe I'll try a 5" jointed Rapala behind a Ford Fender. 

thats a dream fish for me!
 I like the light spin rig you used for that beauty as well, thats my style too
 very nice job.

Thanks BOR!  Not having a net made for a really interesting fight and landing.

10# Hatchery Rainbow caught with a minnow at Lake Del Valle, Nor Cal

Not the biggest rainbow.  Just the weirdest Ive ever seen...looks like a humpy/rainbow hybrid ..

Did you catch that humpbow out of a short yellow bus?

ha! I think it was waiting at the bus stop when my thomas buoyant came swimming by.  I was almost afraid to eat it.  I've seen Beetlejuice...I know what can happen!

big is a subjective term....and according to her this one was the BIGGEST! 

Nice.  Did she eat it?

not yet...waiting for the next time we break out the BBQ

To her, it will always be a monster!

You are right, it is all relative.

I am taking some Blind people fishing in two weeks, and hope that the Bream, Crappie and Small Cats are cooperative....  To someone who has never fished, a 4" Bluegill is huge, especially when it is their first fish.

Caught a couple of piggies at Rufus, late '09; both at 25" and probably close to 10lbs.

The first was an obese monster missing huge chunks out of it's tail.

The second was a beaut.

Frankenfish... tell me you did not eat that fish. looks like what happens when the gene pool gets thin....

If the FDA knuckles under (as expected) and allows marketing of the FrankenNook, that's what a 40# nookie will look like.  And probably
taste like fish pellets.....or cat food.
