8/30/09 big lake
 

Took the wife, kids and a nephew out on the water. Got a late start, hook stuck in my wifes arm and went through at least 150 dollars worth of gulp and jig heads. Caught 5 nice flats, one nice speck and a w trout. The larger trout was my nephews first speck. He foul hooked a croaker and bam the trout hit as he was reeling in. All in all a good day.

Nice flats.

nice catch.them boys look like they had a blast

Hitting those flounder holes... I see! Tide must not have been rolling! How many inches was that speck?

Which one? :eek: :smokin:

Tide very weak coming in till about 12:00 then turned out still real slow. By 1:30 I had all I could take. Oh and Richie broke his new pole only about the seventh in two weeks. Spec was about 24" about four pounds.

Nice fish, those make that one look like bait.
Hope your are not the one that stuck the wife!


Sure seems like a lot of Croakers getting fouled hooked and catching trout in Ya'lls neck of the woods

dude i dunno if ya read my thread from yesterday but i aint kiddin, huntin fool lost a horse of a trout by foulhookin a croaker and a trout hittin it at the boat. biggest fish ive ever seen

It wasn't me.:*****: I had a ladyfish hooked and a monster trout halved it at the boat like a shark would do, man it was crazy.

Yea I did!!! Like I said sure been a lot of foul hooked croaker calling up the trout.

How deep did the hook go in? How did he break his pole... like father like son!

Thank God the barb didn't go in just the point. Trey had to cast his own pole so he did right into his mom's arm. Richie was stuck about 20 feet on the bank and grabbed his pole about 4"s from the tip then decided to pull. Snap! We were about to leave when this happened so he starts freaking out cause his mom said if he broke another one he would be in trouble. Man it was a show out there today almost reminded me of the old days!!

That sounds just like this Dad!!! Daddy Rich!

Kids
 

Best times i ever had was teaching kids to catch fish. ( back when i had patience).
sounds like ya'll need to get some big croakers and go soakin for the big trout!
