http://norcal.fishreports.comThe Los Vaqueros record for rainbow trout has been shattered for the second time in just over a month. On Saturday, Fernando Gonzalez of San Lorenzo caught the largest rainbow ever to come out of the reservoir just north of Livermore when he used a gold Kastmaster to lure a 16.42 pound trout. Gonzalez was fishing from the shore of South Cove. Gonzalez' catch beats the previous record set Dec. 20 by David Bixler of San Jose, who also used a Kastmaster from the South Cove shoreline to catch a 13.72 pound trout. Before Gonzalez and Bixler made their catches this winter, the record had stood for five years. Gonzalez' record wasn't the only big fish to come out of the reservoir located just north of Livermore.
