Mike Sear was the winning fisherman at the Acacia Bay fishing club derby (New Zealand). The Rainbow Trout weighted 6.39lbs. and was 27" long. It was caught using a Scotty downrigger at 45' on a spoon type lure with a fast troll and no flashers (not allowed), just like fishing for Silvers. Note: The prize was a giant whole smoked ham. With fuel at $6.41 a gal. it was a pricey ham sort of like Salmon fishing at home.
