Next time head a couple hours further north....Scott
Damn Jamie , glad to see you're back on the hard water. Unfortunately that lakes not what it used to be, but not much of Colorado is . Next time head a couple hours further north....Scott
Bet that Cutbow would eat real well-
you know we never do that buddy.. lol..
I see big slabs of orange meat grilling over charcoal. a little pepper, grey poupon, oh yeah!
Nice fish!Grey poupon!? Somebody's FANCY! You can slather those things with all the mustard you want, I still can't get into keeping troutskies. Walters, perch, gills and craps only for me!
that's only after we fish a tournament up there..lol.. my buddies winning fish from up there this year.. betcha coulda got some fillets outa that one
Is there some sort of Bigassbassman look-alike contest under way? Please don't tell me that's now a thing. Certainly those are some fish to be proud of but remember that they're just trout. Somewhat shocking to read Slayer salivating over what he would normally regard as Alpo on the hoof. Probably just the Grey Poupon talking through the haze.
"they're just trout says the guy holding a slimy little pike in his picture..lol..yea those are tough to catch. let's see some of your trout, and not lake trout, and lets see how many big ones you've caught since they are "just trout".. especially how many you've caught not using bait or during a tournament since tournament fishing is a different bird altogether as well.. lol
Says Mister "open water sucks!!!!!!!!". No question those are some massive. trophy fish and I've certainly never caught a trout nearly that big. But I have caught enough trout over more than 40 years on the ice that I really don't care if I ever catch another one. Yeah, I know we live in trout country but, frankly, I'd rather chase pike through the ice while waiting for open water when the hunt for big crappie, 'eyes, and cats begins. To each his own. Live and let live. Each man must decide for himself where beauty lies.
C'mon guys! Where's the Love?
that's what i'm saying..i was just posting a report of how we did and the pike guy calls me out.. "just a trout" yet i see no bigger ones posted by them anywhere..lol.. who the hell wants to catch a full of bones,slimy pike that doesn't fight any better than a trout anyways..
We have LOTS of pike in Minnesota. I just don't like fishing for them. Rather catch Lake Trout. Never fish panfish either. Like walleyes.To each his own.
which is all the more reason to not say stuff like "it's only trout" i don't claim to know all the intricacies of how you fish and for what just like you have no idea what kind of challenge "big trout with no bait" is.. like ya say live and let live "without trying to insult someone"..
The world as we've known it is coming to a close and we're squabbling like teenage girls. I'm sorry for my role in that and I sincerely wish everyone the best of luck in the coming days.Stinky over and out.
