My girlfriend and I had to come back to the harder fighting fish in this lake after fishing Spring Lake yesterday. We hit the lake at around 9:00 and whithin 5 minutes she already had a nice fish in the boat. I was using my favorite flatfish and after 3 hours she had me beat on fish 4 to 2. I was just getting ready to switch to her set-up when she hooked in to the biggest trout she's ever caught. It ended up weighing 2.4lbs. and was a little over 17". Sure made her day. She was perfectly content on sitting back and enjoying the day while I fished. I caught one more then the wind kicked up and it started raining so we left. We were surprised to find these 4 things inside her big fish. They are plastic and all of them were melted on one end. The tips of fireworks? Whatever they are this fish really liked them.
