She was caught free lining a live 3.5 inch bluegill as bait. We were trying to get a big HSB. Its pretty sad when your anticipating a big HSB battle and your disappointed when you catch and crank in a pesky trout. (i was, not gpa)
I tell you what though, my gpas trout looks like something you would catch out of lake michigan, not a small lake in central illinois. I would have loved to release that fish due to its unbelievable trophy genetics and aggressive behaviour, but I could tell that fish was more important to Gpa than it was to me.
