Got off of work around 3 or so and decided with the beautiful weather Id venture out to W's trout hole in JOES COVE to see if the HAWGS were there...Well arrived to boiling water with trout and only found one trout that was hungry on the second cast...Thought she was a red but turned out to be this trout that will be hanging on the wall...Last year I released an 8.3lb trout, said if I ever bust the 8lb mark again Im hanging her,,,Well today was the day...she right at the 8.5 mark...weighed her in the boat but was so excited I didnt get a good read...Got home and bogga d her and went at the 8.5lb mark....Only caught one fish and she was caught on a RAPALA X RAP..My favorite....well enough of the jibberish here she is:
me and my boy


And my baby girl with the fishy:
