Personal memory by Ashley Bolling
1990 • Roaring River State Park, Cassville, MO USA
We would go fishing for rainbow trout at Roaring River State Park. I remember catching fish in the public area and then sneaking over to the Lunker Pool I called, "Fish Heaven," and would let my catches go there. It's funny because at the time I didn't realize it, but they most likely got eaten by another lunker, or got sucked back into the public area.
