March madness

I went 2 for three today, First fish was a nice bright buck 29 inches guessing 9 lbs and he was a jumper put on quite a show. three times I had him near my net and he would take off, its tough trying to net a fish by yourself. 1/8 once #63 nightmare jig all the way through.

Second fish was another mint bright fighter my guess was about 10 lb hen she had a get out of jail free fin attached so after a nice fight she took off, # 63 again.

Third fish was a poor hook set and dull hook I had way to much slack in my line when the bobber went down, had the fish on for about a minute. Two good jumps and slack line "oh what a feeling". The point of the hook was about as sharp as a ball point pen :rolleyes: fish and learn on that one i guess. I hooked that one on a #31 Aerojig that's six fish so far on that flavor.

One thing I saw today that was really cool was a may fly hatch, I have never seen so many trout go nuts in my life it was almost like feeding time at the hatchery, the water just boiled with fish some were in the 12 to 14 inch size. When it fist started I thought I was seeing things. I tried to take a video but it didn't turn out well.

check out the quality of meat, yum!

Nice chromer there and the fillets look like a summer run! Thanks for the posting.

congrats,
 
Nice fish. Nice meat, i need more! My last 2 fish, 1 cut really red. the other pale. mudslaw?
 
Nice.

As for jigs...I'm probably not going to convert 100%, but I did hit the daily limit by switching to a jig in the late afternoon today, so it's a great supplement to the spoon warfare I usually wage.
 
Nice fish and sounds like a good day. I've quickly gotten in the habit of retiring a jig if it's a hot fish or after two for sure. Not worth it to me after I had one straighten out. Owner or gami tied jig only for this guy.
As for the trout. Could be smolt. They emptied the hatchery raring ponds at Mciver sometime within the last few weeks.
 
Yet another nice fish Ray, I like the trout picture too!
 
Nice fish and good looking filets you've been killin them. Keep it up.
