Monster Fish

It has taken Dad a while to be happy in California again.  He has had days where he only catches one fish or no fish and he has a hard time with that.  I haven't had any work at the ranch for him, so he feels like he is just sitting around and not contributing. 

Today that all changed.  He caught the biggest trout at Lake Wohlford so far this year.  (Yes, it's only January 5th, but chances are nobody is going to beat this one.)  He is so happy that he is on top and wants to show the fish to everyone.  It weighed 11.45 pounds and was 28 1/3 inches long from mouth to the end of the tail. 

Enjoy the pictures and make sure to call Dad and congratulate him.  I haven't seen him this excited in a long time.  It is going in the freezer and he can't wait to bring it back to Utah and show all his friends.
