Default Lunch Time Fish

Like the title says went fishing at lunch, got two little ones on a small 5 of diamonds put a spinner on and second cast I hooked on to a hog of a rainbow 24 inches long and I figure around 8 pounds which makes it my second largest trout to date.

Sorry for the quality of the photo but I only had my phone.

Nicely done! I would guess that a 24" bow would be around the 7 lb mark from past catches.

It very well could be closer to 7. 8 was a guess and I have only caught a few that where larger then 5.
