[fishin]we fish several areas around the lake today and caught several slot cuts and I did get one 27 in cut and an awesome koke on a hot pink spinner that I had made heres a picture of the koke he wasn't large but nice
16 inches and almost 2 1/2 pounds really thick and a wild fighter

I would love to see a picture of that 27" cut. I once caught a 26" cut up there and when I cut it open to fillet, it had 4 ea. 6" chubs in its stomach. A 27" cut is a big boy. Congratulations.

I will say it was all head and full of teeth
Was also scared up along his gill plate and part
Missing but a hell of fighter so he was released
To be caught again

Thanks for releasing it. I kind of wished I would have released mine but finding all those big chub in its stomach was surprising to me. Made me change my idea of what size of Pointers to throw.

Fishing Rapalas on the Weber taught me many years ago that Big fish like Big meals.

It can definitely keep the little guys away if nothing else.[]

Not so sure about keeping the little ones away. I have seen several trout caught on lures that are about the same size at they are. Maybe not so with a Rapala type of lure.

Oh I know if they are hungry their eyes can be bigger than their stomach.
But then the big fish I have caught have been on very small flies. Again, if they are hungry they will hit.

So true I was casting a small needlefish in the uintas one year and the little cutt that I caught was the same size as the spoon itself. Heck, the hook was the same size is seemed like. [cool]
