Outstanding!
I've seen those big ol' 8-12" soft Rainbow Trout at shops and wondered how and where you would use one... They're pricey, but maybe I'll troll one of those suckers this year and see what happens.

I think you are referring to Huddleston Swim baits.
They are really popular in Cali for giant largemouth bass, but I've seen pictures of 10+lb walleyes eating them too.
They have just the right profile and size. Got to work them really slow though I don't know how well trolling would work.

I meant troll them from my pontoon boat, which is uber slow. I should have said "drag".

That'll do it. Slowly working them a long the bottom is the best way to fish them from what I hear.
They are heavy baits though, gotta have a big rod that will handle the weight.
I'm always amazed how a 5-6lb fish can eat a 12" fish. I know the 10-15lb fish could eat something much bigger.
