Notes

Huge rainbow! 26" weighed atleast 5lbs. Think this is the one that broke my line Memorial weekend...got him in the exact same spot.

The Trick?...Forget your camera and you'll catch a big one!

Fishing with strike indicator and two small sinkers about 10" above the scud. When the action slowed changing the color of the scud seamed to get bites again (tried black with copper, brown, peacock, pink)
