Kelton Lee, 9, is a happy angler after landing this 18-inch rainbow Wednesday near Bayfield. He caught the big fish on a worm and new fishing pole in an area irrigation ditch. His dad, Jeremiah Lee, wouldn't identify the ditch. Kelton said he thought he had a snag, but his dad checked it and handed his pole back and told him to reel it in, and it took about 10 mintes to land. The Lees said they plan to have the fish mounted. Kelton's arm is tired after holding it up for photos!
