Mrs. Luvr's big fish was about 5 pounds. It was just barely under 23 inches and was so fat I could hardly hold it. Mrs. Luvr also caught a four pound a three pound and a small 10 inch trout. When I got home and filleted the fish there were some huge slabs. I opened it's stomach to see what it had been eating and was shocked. There were small sticks, mud, weeds, cockle burrs (those round sticky weeds that stick on your clothes that are the size of a huge jelly bean), and other crap in it's stomach. There were no minnows or other identifiable contents. I have never seen weeds like that in a fish's stomach before.
We had a fun trip and had a chance to meet some great people. The couple fishing next to us also had a three year old son that played with my son and made the trip a lot more bareable. Usually my son drives me crazy and wants to roam the whole lake. Him having a friend along made all the difference in the world. I don't remember the BFT name this couple was registering under so maybe he will post up and say hello. His wife started the ball rolling by catching another huge rainbow the same size as my wife's big one. It was awesome seeing the huge hook jaws these bows had. After catching her big one our new friend decided she was the queen of the world and couldn't help rubbing it in that she was the best fisher person anywhere.[

It was beautiful weather and a fun trip. Can't beat a good day relaxing at the lake.
