I took my son to Blackman's today to see if we could hook up with some of those big trips that were released in the lake recently. I hooked into a nice trout in the first 15 minutes. Landed that, about a 16 inch carry over. About 15 minutes later i saw my son's line twitch and told him to get ready to set the hook. He picked up the rod and it bent over and he set the hook. That is when I realized this was no average trout.
I had to reach over and tighten his drag a little while he fought this behemoth fish. When I went to net it, it barely fit in the net. I have never caught a trout that big and it was awesome to see my son catch one. He caught 2 other fish after that. When we got home it weighed in at 7.1lbs and was 24 and 1/2 inches.
We were there less than 2 hours. Awesome day!
