Lucky Peak/Arrowrock trout where are the big ones?

It has to have been close to 20 years ago now but I vaguely remember a story about a near state record Rainbow being caught from a boat at Arrowrock. If I'm remembering it correctly, the angler that caught the fish either worked at or owned Turner's Sports fair at the time. I also remember some controversy due to what Kodiak has mentioned, there was some speculation that the fish may have been caught using a live minnow for bait. I'm pretty sure that story came out of the Idaho Statesman but I could be mistaken. I tried to find some evidence by searching the web but it must have happened too long ago for there to be any record of it. I also remember that the story of landing the fish was pretty humorous because the guy only had one of those small hand nets and the fish wouldn't fit in it. He flagged over another boat to borrow a bigger net but all they had was the same size net. He ended up using both landing nets, one over the tail and one over the head to scoop it out of the water and into his boat.
