Whats the story with Causey>??
#12
[quote betterthanwork]Last year I took my boys up there on our little row boat to try some fishing. We set up near some of the cliffs and tried casting some crank baits and drowning some worms. My 4 year old (who is not very responsible with his hook) wanted to use a big frog jig that I had in my box. I thought that would be harmless so I tied it on and bent the hook point into the body of the frog so he wouldn't catch anybody else on the boat. He was just messing around with it on the back of the boat saying "jump, jump jump" as he was popping it in and out of the water. Suddenly a large 20+" Tiger Trout came up out of the depths and crashed on that frog, almost pulling the spider man fishing pole out of my sons hand, but his stupid dad had bent the hook in so it wouldn't hook ANYTHING. That tiger came back and slammed that frog on the surface just 2 feet behind the boat 3 times while I was frantically trying to get my hook back so I could through it to him. By the time I got my hook back the monster had slipped away. I quickly put my lure in in an attempt to entice him onto a hook that actually had a hook on it when suddenly I hooked up... with an 8" planter rainbow[:/]. we stayed in the spot for about an hour trying to find that fish but a school of little rainbows had taken refuge under our boat and we couldn't get a bait past them. My boys had a blast, but every time I unhooked a small rainbow I was wishing it was that Tiger Trout.[/quote]

There are certainly some big ones in there, we will never know for sure what lies beneath because the DNR has no way of doing a good sampling like they do at bigger lakes with their nets.
