Owasco Weekend with a Personal Best Rainbow

[alex1young]

I took a few friends out for their first time trolling.  We started the weekend trolling Saturday morning on east side at 5:30.  As soon as i finished letting out the leadcore and put the rod in the holder, it took a nice shot and we landed a solid 20 inch rainbow.  It was nice to see a rainbow since it's been a season since we've got one.  Fishing was slow for the next hour with lots of fish on the screen and only a few takes with no one home.  We quit around 7, to eat and pick up the late sleepers.  After a while we headed out to the north end and went 1 for 3 on a nice 6lb 25 inch laker.  Sunday was a different story, I woke up at 5:15 to serious thunder and lighting and decided to go back to sleep.  By 7 the skies had mostly cleared and the lake settled down nicely.  We set up in 50FOW after seeing an awesome screen but had no action for 2 hours until we made our way out to 150 FOW.  The 3 color core took a massive hit and the planer board disappeared.  After a long battle with some big runs, I landed a new personal best rainbow.  The fish measured 25 inches and weighed just over 7lbs on the digital scale.  I'm holding the big rainbow but seem to make most fish look small at 6'5''...
