At it again Sunday morning. The wind was blowing a little harder out of the SSE at 11-15 mph. Started with the usual tops but switched to tails very quickly and managed these 4. I walked in the water at sunrise and was walking out by 10:40. My last hook up was with what quiet possible could have been a 30" trout. I thought it was a red for the first 2-3 min of the fight. when she showed herself my heart skipped a beat. Everytime i got my bogas close she would scream off drag. She finally after about 5-8 min got that hook out somehow. I was upset at first but really enjoyed the fight and that was the best a trout has offered in quiet sometime. I cant post pic right now my office computer is acting funny. ill post later when i get home

Dude, nice work!!!! I know it's a heartbreaker loosing a fish that big, but at the same time you're seriously upping your game lately getting that fish to strike. Nice work. Shake 'er off and get back on them bro!

How thrilling and disappointing ! I've always heard that landing a big trout requires all the variables to work in your favor ..... I can't say from experience , har !GEORGE A. BRANARD, COLOR SERGEANT, CO. L, 1 ST TEXAS INFANTRY, HOOD'S TEXAS BRIGADE, C.S.A. : S.C.V.Comment

Great job bro! You'll get'r next timeComment

Every hook up is a learning experience that's what keeps us coming back. Some of my best days was basically hours of casting practice and changing lures and learning How to work then differently. You would be surprised how versatile lures can be with a tweak here and there, don't be afraid to experiment.

Hate loosing a big one at all, but especially that close. If I am gonna loose em I would rather it be 15+ feet out. But sometimes the fish just wins.Comment

It does make it easier if you don't see how big the fish you lose is mentally.

i agree .... Some guys don't like nets because you might get a hook caught and the fish slips off , it wipes off more slime for one's to be released , a bother to have it attached to you , ....... But i've seen too many fish get off while trying to grasp a fish or get a hook in you hand . A net is a better bet .Originally posted by team reel pimp View PostGEORGE A. BRANARD, COLOR SERGEANT, CO.

I don't like nets. I grab them and if they get away before the vice grip gets em....they gone. I'll cuss a little get a fresh pinch of Copenhagen and start casting back at em. It makes for a good story.
