20 1/2 Pound Rainbow Trout Caught - Santa Ana River Lakes

Chris Van Aagten of Ontario just caught the largest rainbow trout so far this season at 20 1/2 pounds - His Birthday was today and he and his Father, Vincent, have been coming to Santa Ana River Lakes on his Birthday for the last 7 years. This is the largest trout he has ever seen in his life and his previous personal best was around 9 pounds. Caught on a white Trout Trap near the Boat Dock area. Chris thought he would never get it in and fought it for just under 20 minutes. He said he was lucky there were not a lot of other fishermen around because of the rain to get tangled with, because the fish ran him all over the place. Fortunately his dad, with a lot of experience netting trout was ready, once this brute got tired. Chris now holds bragging rights over his Dad who's personal best was 17 pounds also caught at Santa Ana River Lakes.
