Spawning season

Must be close to spawning season. All the trout I caught were big ones. 4 18in+. I caught one small one on a DOA and a 16in Red on a swim jig.
Water 72, clear 3 ft. Main channel points close to deep water. Nothing on top water :frowning:

The pix are terrific

Fish flop

He was a green one and struck right by the boat. Saw the whole thing.

Let me be the first to critique you on the way you’re holding that trout. You’re doing it wrong. You should hold some part of its body. I hope you checked it for concussions before you released it.

10% of the people catch 90% of the fish.

These are the best photos I’ve seen on here in a long time. Excellent work.

Concussion protocol for a trout…I love it!!! :smiley:

I love your chapstick holder

Tks Sman. I use it to untangle a braid’s knot. Works like a charm.

Please explain the knot thing.Sometimes my braid gets tangled up when I load too much on my spinning reels.

I googled it,thanks for the tip.

Wait till you do it. You’ll think it is a magic trick

Thanks for the pics

What’s the chapstick knot trick?

The chapstick trick is when you get a wind knot in your braided line, all you have to do is lubricate the knot with chapstick. You can then pull the knot out 90% of the time.

LOL Trout concussion! If anyone on this site hasn’t dropped a fish they haven’t been fishing long.

You have one good action camera man! Cool pics Epres. I’d say from the last pic and the big belly you had a moma full of eggs. +

Concussion protocol, indeed.

Someone needs to photoshop a football helmet on their next trout.

nice, but my neck hurts now.

fyi, turn your push pole around in the mount so the foot faces forward

Great tip on push pole!

Dammit all. Why the pushpole gotta face forward? Mine don’t . Better aerodynamics
