We're back at the berry for tonights first entry. Casey was up with his dad and caught this twenty three inch slot buster cutthroat. Casey says when it was time to pack up he began cleaning his catch, that's when he found a 2015 white strawberry fishing contest tag inside the fish! Casey's fish had eaten one of our tagged rainbows! Casey took the tag to the Strawberry Marina, claimed his prize and now we'll see Casey at our closing ceremony on November 14th to see if his tag gets drawn for the 22 foot Crest pontoon boat. Good luck Casey!

A spur of the moment fishing trip turned into an unforgettable morning for the Jackson family. 13 year old Abbie Jackson didn't know fish got this big until she reeled in this six pound, hooked jaw rainbow. Dad says all she could do was giggle. Grandma Jackson was up next and landed this five pound bow. John says she screamed in excitement for the entire lake to hear. In all the family caught three giant rainbows, with ten year old Ellie catching the most. John says he and his dad didn't fish much, all they did was bait hooks, and they wouldn't have it any other way.
