My friend Jason caught this beast this morning at Toby.  It was 29.5 inches long and weighed 9.76 pounds.  We weighed it at the bait shop in Brockway.

wow!! great catch. congrats!!

Congrats on a great fish !!!

I was talking to a guy who helped stock Toby earlier this week and he told me they put in quite a few Palominos like that...

How did it fight?  nice trout.

It didn't fight as much as I would have thought.  I figured it would make a big run but it didn't.  It did manage to get itself under a tree though.  I thought it was all over then.  Jay had to put enough pressure on it to get it out of there and it was on top splashing.  The 4 lb. test held up though.

Yeah i have never had a Golden trout put of that good of a fight out the ones i have caught they jump and then seem to thrash around on top till you get them to the net.  I just wish they put some rainbows in that were in the 24" to 30" range no there would be a great fight.
