Mineral Lake derby winner!

I guess those hybrids really do exist. Never heard of it before, but it sounds like they are experimenting with it in the lab.

Mandown,
Where did you get the pic? I'd like to hear more about it.

Not sure 1 fish could be responsible for the Snagger phenomenon.
Most of the really big fish I've seen from Mineral are released hatchery broodstock. They weigh several pounds when they put them in. So there are quite a few that size in the lake.

Bullkllr,  I got this sent to me from a buddy of mine.  His brother-in-law works for the state or works at a bio lab?  I am thinking this is a real fish?  But who knows?  The town is small and depends on fisherman to stay alive.  However there are very big fish in the lake and I enjoy going after "Snagger".  I believe many other do as well.

I think snagger hangs out with Bigfoot.

I was up at the lake on Saturday.  Could see some osprey doing some fishing.  Looks like some nice fish are in the lake waiting for the opener.

This is the weekend.  We are headed up tomorrow.  Good luck!

One time, I was trolling past the Mineral Lake Band Camp, and Snagger put a flute in her mouth.

Not the derby winner but a few 7lb ers we caught today.





Another friend got a 5lb er also. Had mine and the 5lb trout on at the same time. kinda cool having a double with both such big fish.

Pete showed pic to wife and her comment  was "why is he long arming a 14 inch trout?"

 (She knows my fish pic secrets)

Mat's looks bigger

Looks like a great day on the water.

What was winning weight?

I never did enter it, or get the official weight.

Had a buddy enter one at 6lbs and he told me they had a fish over 9lbs all ready, so i didn't bother. did here that 2nd and 3rd winners were in the 8lb range 


and with out the long arming 


And Matt is long arming his too

We only used wedding rings with meal worm to catch all ourbfish.

The crowes were the smallest they have ever been. No where near as crowed.

Good Job Pete!  I got out to lake Margaret, which is above my house.  But, they didn't stock any Trip's.  Still, it was fun to get out and catch a bunch of shakers.
