Joni, I had sent Bruce a note over a month ago that we were planning on being up there to see if he and Shelly could come up and fish with us. He said he'd be gone so I asked him to have Shelly send me her number. This one is on Bruce!!
And yes I did take the fish to the local F&G office today and they were pretty stoked to get to check it out for science purposes. The hatchery manager for Henrys just happened to be there and without going throuhg the whole details here is the short version.
The biggest fish he has ever weighed at Henrys was 13.8 pounds and that was caught in a net. The biggest that was cuaght on rod and reel was a tad over 13 pounds. My fish, which was frozen and they indicated that a normal rule of thumb is that a fishes loses about 1/2 pound when frozen, weighed 14.2 pounds on their calibrated electronic scale. This made my fish the BIGGEST fish he has ever seen!!!
So whose buying the beer? And Joni if you catch a double digit trout on a dry fly I am buying for sure!!!!!
