John Fahrner with his near record Mackinaw

Oregon Native catches near record fish

Rhonda.John Fahrner,is an avid fisherman, who was born and raised in the Portland area.  He now lives near Boise, Idaho.  He went fishing last summer in Priest Lake in Northern Idaho and caught this 38 lb, 42" long  Mackinaw / Lake Trout.  While it is not the record that has been caught in that lake it is a close second.  As you can see it is almost as tall as John, who is 5'6 or 5'7.  I was so impressed that I thought that you would enjoy seeing it also.I hope that the picture gets to you ok, since I can't see it here.  Thank you,Bonnie McCauley
