Little over 7# caught in WC in July on a DOA. I've released 3 others right around the same size in my big lake tenure. She needs some company up there.

Had this one jump up on the bank trying to murder a mullet. Didn't have my scale but she was 29.5" and thick. I'm guessing 9# well over 8. Pics then quick release.

I fished Venice spring and summer, mostly alone, seriously about ten years ago with topwaters and Slapsticks and Deadly Dudley straight tails fished deep. Late afternoons way downriver on good weekdays. Mud lumps, beach, jetties. Never could get past six pounds til one day on some deep rocks.

One perfect evening, I got a few five pounders on DDs right away and then started working over a black/chrome She Dog. The big girl hit about a half hour before sunset, no camera, long before camera phones. Taped out at 28.25 inches, was unhooked without any trauma, didn't want the only photo to be of a dead fish at night at Venice Marina by a security guard who would likely screw it up, so I let her go. I had never been moved by any trout mounts previous, either.

She was heavy bellied, but I really have no idea how heavy she might have gone. Shortest 45 minute ride home ever!

My biggest was 9lbs 6oz. I was 11 years old. My buddys dad hooked it and fought it a bit, then handed the rod to his son, who fought it a bit, then he handed it to me. my buddys dad netted it, and freaked out when he saw that it was a spec. our pic with that fish hung in the causeway store until rita. the trout is in my buddys dads living room still today.

Not sure on the weight of mine. It was 26.5'' long and pretty fat. Caught on gulp swimming mullet from my kayak in Prien Lake. June of last year.
