Opening weekend at Mineral is always a mystery

[Mandownitis]

Looks like the lake still has the "Big" one.

What is the speculation?  I hadn't seen/heard there was an issue.  Muskie?

For years there have been stories of Snagger,  this is one from a few years back.

We used to go every year, but missed last year.  It is a hoot.

According to "your" thread from 2011,

Snagger was was already 20+ pounds in 2011,  add seven years of growing

Average life span for rainbows is 6 years, longest ever recorded was 11 years,

The state record for a rainbow (including triploid) is 29.6 lbs

Snagger has to be not only the biggest rainbow ever caught in Washington, but the oldest as well!

No one can be that bad at math.  Unless they really want to believe.

This is something that has been part of this lake for as long as can be imagined.

I'll be there hope I get him

Mineral definitely holds some nice fish. I have not caught one over three pounds there, but I have seen two fish over ten pounds caught and many between 5-10 pounds.

The best part of fishing opening day at mineral is watching the boat ramp when all the drunks try to take out their boats, LOL.

[Mandownitis]

I am ready for Snagger.  I have my own poster.

[whackmaster]

I'm going to get him before you 

[cbond3318]

That fish is dead.
