Was fishing solo in 16 foot flat, not sure what she weighed, guessing a little over 8. Didn't even get a picture (pre camera phone), decided to release. Still one of my all time fishing memories. Hour ride back to marina in the fading light went by in what seemed like five minutes.

Those venice trout are. Thick thick.
I've seen 25" 7 pounders.
Some 27" fish almost go 9
