Default How big would you say this Grafham rainbow is????
My boat partner, Steve Cullen (AKA Peepingcaddis) caught this imaculate rainbow from Grafham yesterday. It took a black buzzer and was in spectacular condition......

My question is......how much do you think it weighs? We were really surprised and would be interested to know what you all thought.......

Well the way he's holding it up I would say it weighs a lot less that it looks.

8 - 10lbs

7-8lbs Trout weight is always deceptive and it is hard to be accurate from a photograph.
