I caught my personal best trout 2 days ago he weighed in at 8.15 lbs. He gave me a good fight for about 15 minutes. And no I am not mounting him, to much money. A couple of pictures is good enough for me.

Nice one. We have been going to Roaring River for years. Have never caught anything larger than what they stock. What stream or park?

Holy crap what a fish. Being from St James I am assuming the Meramec?? Not the spring/hatchery but downstream maybe.

That's a dandy fish.
I too was guessing it came out of the Meramec.

I was wondering about that place (based on width of stream). Ran into an advertisement somewhere for it recently.

That's a feeder stream that runs into the river there. Never over look feeder streams. He was hiding under a big log and came out and nail that hellgrammite

While I was guiding in western Alaska we would catch bows in the 5-7 lb range regularly. A few in the 8-9 lb range. These were all fast water fish, not big bellied lake fish.

You'll have to change your screen name to Bigtrout. Congratulations on a fantastic rainbow.

Here, some time before the revolution, a guy that became a famous writer, which of course I can't remember his name, caught a huge brook trout, and of course I can't remember the weight, lol,
but what I do remember was they took that trout and cut out an outline of it on a piece of board...I believe they painted it up nice too....it's still attached to the church he was playing sunday hooky from....

so there's an option for you.
