I believe this is the same fish that hammered my rattle trap while fishing with Dave Stewart this past Friday morning in Sugar Bay. It has to be for I saw the spot on her gil plate. At lease this is my story and I am sticking to it.

Seriously, what a horse. Shows what all those rainbow trout are doing for the bass in California. Also, shows with proper management the potential for Smallies at Dale Hollow with all the trout to munch on. Whether or not she is registered, at 25.1, which is over 2 lbs more than the old record. Can anyone imagine a 14 lb smallie?
