  • Hey! You got a flag!


24" Rainbow caught jigging a 1/16 oz. jig tipped with a fathead minnow back in mid January.  I watched on the screen of my Lowrance Elite as she came up and hit my jig, I set the hook and it was time to hang on!

Thanks.  No, I didn't. This water was stocked with surplus breeders back in the fall and I was lucky enough to tie into one of the few rainbows that they put in there.  It went into the broiler and then into my belly. ;D

Wow that's a beauty of a rainbow.
If fishing is a sport are we considered athletes?

Excellent bow, 24" long must have weighed around 5-6 lbs.

Hard to argue that. I think that most if not all species in the trout/salmon family are beautiful looking fish.
