Did the filets look good? I’d think they would with that kind of food going into it. Cool share!

Fished Third Lake in Pittsburg a few years ago and any bows we kept were loaded with small crayfish. We used them for bait and it worked especially when we jigged them.

Do you butterfly or fillet the rainbow? 14” rainbows almost enough for a sandwich should of cooked the crawfish too

No worries Joe! It worked out, I forgot we live in Maine now and my kids had vacation all week instead of next week in NH

Probably could have used 4 or 5 of those dead crawfish for bait! ;D

That is impressive, especially for a 14" trout -- once saw a 15" Brown caught with about a 9" Spotted Salamander in its belly...!
