Check out this awesome Rainbow caught by Lisa Fanti at Topaz Lake. She was fishing with her husband, Corey and trolling a Rapala XWrap in trout pattern. Once they netted him, they discovered a 6” fish hanging out of his mouth. They donated that one to the pelicans. The fish weighed in at 6lbs 9 ounces. She caught him at 08:45 on the downrigger at 28 feet.  Thanks for sharing with us Lisa!
