Big Stocker Trout

[Bluebasser86]

Cbass12 and I got to Lake Shawnee today to chase some of those big trout I've been hearing so much about. Not sure how many we caught but after a slow start we figured them out pretty good and both of us got our limits on top of releasing several each and I got a bonus crappie. Little Cleos were the main bait of choice but we also caught 6 on a Ned rig just to see if we could. My first trout of the day was also my new PB at 5.79 pounds.

One of Ryan's next fish was a pig and his new PB at 6.43 pounds.

I caught 1 over 4, 2 over 5, and Ryan had his monster to round out our 10 fish limit of fish that we kept. That's a 1X8 board in the picture for scale.

My two piggies, the 5.79 pound fish and a 5.41 pound fish.

Whoops   sure is. That's funny because we both counted them, I even counted them twice    I guess I'll just have to take 4 next time instead of 5. They weren't hard to catch once we figured out the pattern. It was a ton of fun on light tackle, they about jerk the rod out of your hand when they hit the spoon.

Nice!  Wish the trout they stocked around here were that big.

They put some giants in the creek behind my house. My buddy caught one last year 30" a golden rainbow. Thing was ungodly big. Me personally I leave every fish go I catch. I cant stand the consistancy of fish. I like shrimp, lobster... thats about it for now.
