monger Posted May 22, 2012 Posted May 22, 2012 Went exploring Saturday to find some real fish. Found a new water body with some healthy diploids. Nice to see fish growing so big before they reach sexually maturity. The fish was mortally wounded prior to picture so no worries about survival (dinner for four). Chrome 22" very close to 7lb Quote
CopperJonny Posted May 22, 2012 Posted May 22, 2012 Very nice.... congratulations on the opportunity to feed on some trout flesh !! And on your discovery of new waters Quote
troutlover Posted May 22, 2012 Posted May 22, 2012 Nice Fish! Hey i was hoping to get out this week to do some fishing and was wondering where you were fishing? I don't need the exact location just the name of the lake. Feel free to PM me and i'll post it up later with some pictures. Thanks. P.S- What cha using.... worms?..... REAL trout have black spots.

monger Posted May 22, 2012 Author Posted May 22, 2012 Jared, there is a lake south of Milo in the prairie. We were trying to find saugeye and burbot but all we could get were these fat fish with no spots. This one has 7 spots I think, 24" The spawners are bigger. Might have to try again in the fall when they clean up. Quote
beedhead Posted May 22, 2012 Posted May 22, 2012 SLABS!!... How did they fight?? Cheers... Jeff.. Quote
shredneck Posted May 22, 2012 Posted May 22, 2012 Those look a little better then your target species. Quote
monger Posted May 22, 2012 Author Posted May 22, 2012 Jeff, the fish were rockets. Great fun catching fish where you are completely out of control. Chrome bullets flashing under the water and flying out for long distant jumps. Lake fishing sucks... Quote
