Had a trip with a great bunch of guys yesterday. Went into an area that is been holding some nice trout and mix reds. We did the marathon wade hoping for a big one. The wait and the wade where well worth it. Brian (aka Chili) caught the largest trout of his life, 30" and over 9 lbs. This big girl is already at the taxidermist. You can tell by the look on his face of how proud and happy he was. It's a trout of a life time, I told him, and that many men/women fish their entire lives looking for one like this and it never happens. He feels extremly lucky and fortunate to have been lucky enough to get one like this. This is what makes me love to fish!

Awesome trip! Very Nice Big Girl. I hope he was enterend in the STAR tourney.... He could be on the leader board with that one-- even though it might not hold up all year.

Great looking trout. Is it entered in the STAR? It's always nice when your trout are as big and bigger than your reds...

That might be a croaker box

 

[Castaway Rods]

Old Style Bait Boxes. They are awesome, especially for Croaker. The plastic boxes get hot and warm the water in the box, thus killing the croaker. These boxes float great, are easier to get the bait out of the box, and keep the water cool. I can get you them for $45 to $50 each I believe. Let me know.

Yes, we were using Croaker.

Nice job, I am finnally hearing some really good reports around the rockport area.

 

[ComeFrom?]

I haven't seen a wooden live bait box like that in years. That was the only type way back when....Great catch, BTW. CF?

 

[Wading Mark]

croaker soakin?? thats like using dynamite

Don't ever say that again. Capt. Jimmie is a great fisherman and gentleman and such a comment is not needed to take away from his excellent report.

Great job, Capt. Jimmie.

Gimmie a break with the croaker comments already. Bait is bait.

Using croaker as a bait is perfectly fine.

 

[GHSmacker]

That's a hell of a fish.

 

[300X]

i use croaker all the time...lol

esp. when girls are in the boat so we dont have to struggle to catch em with arties, lol.

nice capt. dooms

 

[spotsndots]

Awesome catch and I don't care what kind of bait you were using!!

LOL!! You tried to beat 'em to it, right!??!

Nice work

 

[Lat22]

Great catch. I love the Baffin reports. One of these days I'm going to shadow you out there!

 

[Castaway Rods]

and my grandmother can catch a 30 inch trout on a live croaker which should in itself be a gamefish that we could enjoy fishing for and enjoy eating!!

So, you really believe that just because you have croaker that 30" trout just swim from miles away to eat your croaker? Give the guy some credit that caught the fish. There are many men that will fish their entire lives to try and catch a monster like her, but never will.

Once again, CHILI, that is one nice fish!
