Thirty four pound plus.... Yep that's what it was. a thirty four pound plus rainbow caught at American Falls this summer. Now who in their right mind wouldn't want to go up and fish a derby like that and catch a fish of a life time. So I am looking at it as being the best $80 I can spend this winter. Just being amongst Fishermen of that class will be well worth it. It's about 230 miles from Salt lake heck it's that far to Otter Creek and they go down there for 3 pound fish. This is a cash payout Derby not a $300 dollar gift certificate. Yes I am calling you out. If you consider yourself a fisherman come play with the big dogs......if not stay on the porch. ![[Image: bobwink.gif]](http://www.bigfishtackle.com/images/gforum/bobwink.gif)
Now there are still a few open spots so hurry and register at Maniac.com You can get an Idaho license at 6 a.m. for 1 day for $12 or $13 at the 66 gas station in American Falls. Go into town to the city park and hang a right it's 2 1/2 blocks down on your right hand side. They will have plenty of breakfast sandwiches, cold sandwiches and bait. They will also give you instructions to the res. It is just down a block and over a block and around the dam. As of yesterday the ice is 6-10 inches thick and crystal clear. The res. is over 60 miles long. One more thing ...you have to fish with maniac lures and jigs with your bait of choice. I know I put a lot of pump into their custom lures but hey they catch a lot of fish. I would put them up against anything.
