Only got a measurement on her. The marina was closed, otherwise she would have taken a trip with me to get "certified." You can see from the fins it was definitely a spawner. Caught in about 1.5' of water on beemoth. I had just shortened up my float rig after catching several nice fish out deeper. The bottom was a sand/gravel/shell bed that sloped just right on the north end of the reservoir. I was actually talking on the cell phone when it bit and I set the hook. I can't repeat what came out of my mouth when I got it to the surface the first time and saw how big she was :) Bad news is I think they dredged this area of the lake last year, potentially ruining this spawning area. I'm know for sure this spring. Good news is she was released quickly and well immediately after taking the pic. Hoping she is still out there and about 13" now :)
