Huge rainbow???



 Took another trip up the West Branch of the Perkiomen this morning with my big sis. We stopped back at the dam on Camp Mensch Mill and caught this brown. We then headed up to the bridge at Huff’s Church. I saw some decent sized browns and on my third cast under the bridge I caught a 20”  five pound male rainbow. I had to pull him up by hand. When I lifted him onto the bridge my 4 lb test broke. I was trying to get my sister’s attention but she had walked back to the car and I didn’t have any cell service to call or text her. I got the rainbow back into the water as quickly as possible. Hopefully he’s going to be ok. I’ve never seen a rainbow anywhere along the West Branch before but obviously they are reproducing in this section of the stream.
