Yes, it was just the flatfish by itself. We tried the dodger with other lures and caught fish but the flatfish by itself did better. We were marking some big schools of smaller fish by the cliffs and we were seeing bigger fish in with them. I think the smaller fish were chubs and the one big cutt was in with them feeding on them. We tried to revive the big girl for over 25 minutes and it swam away and down once but it came right back up, belly up, 
[frown]. Anyway, we had to keep her and she was full of eggs which I thought was strange because Bear lake cutts spawn in the spring. She also had a 9" chub in her stomach. We measured the depth on the side of the fish and she was 7" deep. She weighed just one ounce shy of 6 pounds. About 25 years ago, me and another guy caught a 27", 7.5 lb, cutt near the dam but it was no where near as fat as this fish was, for a length of only 23". There are a few big fish in LC but IMO they are few and far between.
