Hi all.

Bob Bernier did a nice job putting his friend onto this fish. Wow! We got a 5 today and a couple limits, I was very happy and now even more so as this fish was caught on a Trout Buster behind a Mountain Flasher. He must have been 21 feet down as I think he fishes 100 feet back with his Mountain Flasher. The fish was weighed and measured by Dick Gomez at Young's Sporting Goods, one of two official SLTTP weigh stations, the other is Shaver Lake Sports.

Dick
