It was a good day for fishing unless you're a fish. Gene Gibboney, an 86-year-old St. Marys resident, not only enjoyed Monday's sunny afternoon but he caught a 16-inch rainbow trout within 15 minutes of setting up his fishing site. He said he moved to St. Marys from New Bremen because it's closer to his favorite fishing spot, the East Bank pond. The trout were stocked this year by the Ohio Division of Wildlife.
