You wouldn’t want to see the one that got away. It’s rotting in the trash.
An angler at Green Valley Lake in the San Bernardino Mountains apparently had quite a struggle with an unusually large trout last Friday, but the fish managed to break the line.
It later surfaced--belly up. Lake employee Jerry Eaker scooped it up, brought it in, weighed it in at 11 pounds, then disposed of it.
“We double-wrapped it and threw it in the dumpster,” concession owner Jim Allison said. “It must have put up enough of a fight that it croaked.”
