So myself and a friend went on a fishing trip in Nevada. We went to Ruby Lake Wildlife Refuge for a week, which has bass and monster trout. Its a huge marsh area that sits at 6000 feet up in the deserts of eastern Nevada. We caught roughly 8 – 10 billion pound size bass and a couple trout, of which the average was 4 pounds. Awesome trip with well over 100 fish caught, just bass. Aboot a dozen large rainbows between 5 of us. These were the 2 biggest. The first going 6lb, 9oz. The second going 7lb, 2oz. Largest bass was 2lb, 4oz.

Nice fish, just wondering if they were really that heavy though.

Really??
Well, Ive never been asked that before. They were both weighed twice, just after the catch, and when we got back to camp, and on 2 different scales. The hatchery at this place doesnt realese the fish until they are 22in long, so there is no small fish, well, not really. They also told us there were some caught in the teens a couple weeks before we got there.
Most trout caught were aboot 4 lbs. -

I wish I was there catching them wth you. It is hard to tell from a pick on how big fish can can be.

Its cool man. Both of the pics are friends of mine. They are pretty skinny guys. I noticed most pics I see of fish are really close to the camera, so they seem bigger than they really are. I dont try to make them look big, I just take the pics. We weigh everything we catch, except the small ones. One of our scales is certified for tourneys by a local bass club, so at least we know 1 is on point.
