Hey all. Decided this morning that I would go out and try my luck fishing Horsetooth res at dawn. So I went out and sat on the east side of the lake. I tossed out a few different lures for about 30 mins and didn't catch anything. I started to walk down the shore and saw a swirl in the water. I tossed my 1/4 oz roostertail floursant yellow and pink at it. I no more then had the lure hit the water when my line started disappearing off my line. After about a good 5 minute fight, I finally got it to shore and the fish ended up being a good 26", 10-11lbs Wiper. If I can ever get pictures from my buddy, I'll post it for all you na sayers. This is the biggest catch I've ever had and will end up a trophy for years to come. Needless to say, I stopped while I was ahead. 
Conditions were sunny, no clue on the water temp, and as I said, I was fishin from shore.
