Editor's Note: Craig Scheetz, from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, sent in this photo of a 21#, 31-inch brown trout he caught on September 23rd out of Soda Lake near Pinedale.
"I have been coming to wyoming fishing with my dad, Mike Drennen, for 14 years. This is the biggest fish I have ever seen come out of that lake," he said.
Mike Drennen is from Longmont Colorado, and Randy Davis, who took these pictures, is from California.
"The visit is just like every year I LOVE IT. I will return every year," added Scheetz.
