But I haven't even seen a 9lbs trout caught on this site(or the other site) with or without live bait since I've been here last year(not saying there hasnt been one, I've only been active here for the last few months but still). give the guy props, he's an old man that knows his area and catches big fish simple as that. I don't see where there is anything to discuss

He claims to have caught 9 trout that weighed over 80 lbs.............in one day. First of all, I do not believe that. I think that Terry Shaughnessy claiming to have caught over 5,000 8 lb. trout in his lifetime is more realistic. Damn shame he didn't have a camera with him the day of that slaughter 'cause his pics are of 3 lbers. He did, however, show a pic of a couple of 7's he was gettin' ready to clean. If I were to compile a list of "TroutMasters".......he would not be featured, nor, would anybody else that fished live bait exclusively and kept every fish they caught.
