Guest andymansavage Posted April 26, 2006 Report Share Posted April 26, 2006 This fish was caught at my favorite res. My biggest through the ice there is a 24" 6 lb cutthroat. http://www.wildlife.utah.gov/news/06-04/strawberry_rainbow.php Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tominator Posted April 26, 2006 Report Share Posted April 26, 2006 Re: 33\" 18 lb Rainbow Nice fish for sure. Wonder if that's the right pic though? To me it looks shy of 33" and 18lbs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turkeygirl Posted April 26, 2006 Report Share Posted April 26, 2006 Re: 33\" 18 lb Rainbow Nice fish! Yeah, it doesn't quite look like what the article says it weighs nd measures. I caught a 32" steelhead last year that was longer than that and only weighed around 10-12 pounds.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest andymansavage Posted April 26, 2006 Report Share Posted April 26, 2006 Re: 33\" 18 lb Rainbow That's the fish alright. It was officially measured at the marina. We call those sterile rainbows "footballs", this one had a 20" girth. That's a fat fish. I have caught cutthroats up to 27" that only weigh 5 pounds, but those 'bows sure pack on the weight. I think that the fish's girth makes it look shorter, but look at it compared to the man's leg. This is the official story from the dwr.

Tominator Posted April 26, 2006 Report Share Posted April 26, 2006 Re: 33\" 18 lb Rainbow I took a yardstick and held it right near my hip and it went down nearly to my ankle. I'm 5'10" so yeah, that fish is 33" alright. Maybe that guy milked her of the eggs and made a bunch of spawn sacs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shutter Posted May 22, 2006 Report Share Posted May 22, 2006 Re: 33\" 18 lb Rainbow That's a great fish. I fished Strawberry res many summers ago. I have family that live across from Deer Ck res also. I used to spend my summers up there fishing for rainbows. My biggest fish up there was a 24" german brown.
