Which would be.....

[Choupique]

30" No question for me.

I'd say 30" trout. I've never seen one that big so it would be awesome to catch one.

I think my minimum for a skin mount would be 9 pounds no matter what length.


The way I look at it, killing/cleaning a 8 lb plus trout is no different from doing it with a largemouth.

Trout taste way better than bass though... I throw all my bass back except the one on my wall

DID BOTH SAME DAY. WAS A GREAT DAY TO REMEMBER FEB. 2004. 32 DEGREES WITH A SLIGHT S WIND. ALL ON TOP WATER. BIG GIRL WAS 9.5

[LaAngler]

big specks get a stronger taste to them

[meaux fishing]

all bs aside i prolly would just mount a big girl... wait a minute that doesnt sound right... for me it would need to be bigger than 7.5

Yea if I’m going for meat i’ll take 12"-14" fish if I can. Plus nothing beats a thin fillet fried up; much better than thick chunks cut off a bigger fish.

i had some 17-18 inch redfish that were actually better than some 4 lb trout last week

Not into limits, so I guess the 30" trout would be my choice...

[jpeff31787]

tough question there my friend.. 30" trout would be SWEET but a limit of 4-5lb trout would be beautiful too. My feeling right now would be the limit of big trout, because I have a bad itch to catch a bunch of fish right now. Later in the season after i've caught fish, I'd probably say the one 30incher lol

[fishinpox]

for me the 30" would be more memorable, id like to say id snap a few pics and set her loose if she wasnt bleeding from the gills , and just get a replica made ....then i ask myself would i really? im leaning to setting her loose. but if i did kill it i would deff post pics of me putting the knife to her on some FLA websites. a limit of 20-24" fish is great but very possible to achive if you have the right conditions , in my mind a 30" sow is few and far between

I've had several fish mounted and, like the pics, even they get old. The memories never do. I'd cut a 30" trout loose in a heartbeat...no matter the weight.

[calcutta37]

30" and id get it skin mounted cause it would be a once in a lifetime deal.

Nobody said anything about a limit of "4-5 pounders". Unless, a 22" trout weighs 5 pounds.

[jchief]

30" CPR. have caught the limit of 20" or so before.

dirty 30 club...baby!!!!

Definately the 30''. You can brag about it for the rest of your life! And, you can work on the story so it sounds a little better each time.

C....The next trout my 8 yo hooks and brings to the Boga, that gentlemen is "Priceless"

You will have achieved something that most fishermen never will and that gives you the right to brag about it and stretch that trout as much as you want.
