In honor of Mothers Day 5-year-old Cody Hipwell of LaVerne and his sister Josie remain our photo choice this week. Cody landed a 6.46 lb. Big Bear Bow while trolling a flatlined CD Rapala in Rainbow Trout pattern off of Eagle Pt. Josie caught a 2 lb. rainbow that had a tagged dorsal fin, part of the October Troutfest in 2007'.

    Large trophy sized rainbow trout will be stocked in the lake this week as part of the Jim Hall Memorial May Trout Classic. In addition to numerous cash and tackle prizes for the 425 entrants, several fish reared in pens over the winter could break the lake record of 14.68 lbs. set during the 1995 Classic. Look for these fish to be caught next weekend and in the weeks to come.

    Big Bear Marina is proud to announce that we are the first OFFICIAL WEIGH STATION on Big Bear Lake. New LAKE RECORDS will be established! Bring your BIG FISH and QUALITY LIMITS to the marina for weigh-in and be eligible for monthly prizes.
