Caught by Andy Ayers
This Monster Rainbow Trout measured about 30
inches and weighed
more than 11.2 pounds. Caught in Catherine Creek in the Southern Tier, NY
State.
[Montour Falls area.] Catherine Creek runs into Seneca Lake.
What is unusual is it's mere size for a small creek that is stocked every
year by the NY DEC
Sean Hanna, regional director for the state Department of
Environmental
Conservation, Estimated the fish to be 8 to 10 years old!
Ayers was using an egg sack!
