Dang! Nice trout. Did you catch it?
On May 5, 2015 I was fishing at Bonaparte Lake Resort in Tonasket Washington with my 6" ugly stick and 8lb diameter fire line and hooked into the Washington State record tiger trout from shore. It took me about 15 minutes to land it on shore. I was fishing bacon and eggs, worm and pautzke eggs. I was stunned to see how big this trout really was; it looked as big as a Salmon. We then called fish and game who hooked us up with Ryan Fortier Washington field and wildlife officer and Biologist whom certified our record fish and we are awaiting our certified copy from Olympia Washington. It was our 20th year at the resort and got to share it with all our family and friends who also have been going to the Bonaparte Lake Resort for over 30 years. It’s a once in a life time experience for me. I am an angler from Priest River Idaho.
That's a hog of a fish!! And to think that he caught it will a 6" rod....
