23 the mark to beat length and 3.9lb to beat weight

[rain oasis]

[thin kettle]

Here u go pretty shitty photo i was scrambling

but tail was at 1 and he measured 17 and a half, ill take 17 just because the photo trash

[rain oasis]

First time I see a fish measured that way

[thin kettle]

LMAO

[rain oasis]

And that’s clearly upwards of 18

[thin kettle]

18? @hexed breach

ill let you judge

cuz i did bad measure

[rain oasis]

He’ll probably say 17 just to disagree with me

[thin kettle]

lmfao

[silver jolt]

ill measure the rod inna min

teeny rainbow

[silver jolt]

ive seen 4s that look bigger

[thin kettle]

[silver jolt]

the trout here dont hit lures

[thin kettle]

[rain oasis]

If it’s September-December it makes sense for it to end on New Year’s Eve so 31.12.2023

[silver jolt]

everyone here uses chartuese powerbait dough

[rain oasis]

Use a small spoon

[silver jolt]

i spent a week throwing a 1/32oz rooster tail around

last year

[rain oasis]

Lake trout season's over in MN

[crystal ginkgo]

[lavish granite]

I’ll get a bigger one at some point

That was my first trip

River run fish too

[crystal ginkgo]

Nicee Ive never cuaght a lake trout before looks fun

[lavish granite]

Yeah they’re hard fighters you can’t really release them most the time though

[rain wind]

I've never caught them in a river before.

Just jigging in 70ft+ of water in the lakes here

[lavish granite]

Usually how it is here too

They fight really well in current

[tawny isle]

22 inch rainbow

[thin kettle]

[lavish granite]

It’s old pic don’t be fooled young one

[tawny isle]

Its from September

[thin kettle]

Another 19

[half fox]

We rounding now

[thin kettle]

Yup

I’m losing anyway

[lavish granite]

💪

It’s looking like I won’t get a bigger laker unfortunately

Unless I get one tomorrow or anytime this weekend

Steelhead it is

[silver jolt]

bro i aint even catching a trout before the comp ends

[orchid oasis]

Fr trout season starts late November if we’re lucky

[silver jolt]

they stock at my pond on nov 28

😭

[rain wind]

At least I'll win the largest natural trout. Mine wasn't a stocker 🤌

[lavish granite]

Oh shit I didn’t even notice mine was

That’s rarer than wild fish here lol

I’ll either beat mine or get a steelhead anyways

[thin kettle]

Ill win with smallest now thats my goal

😭

[rain wind]

Haha just making jokes. We're fortunate enough to have some bodies of water here that can support natural bred trout.

[lavish granite]

Valid

[rain wind]

I believe the lake I caught it from started by a stock population back in the 60's. They stopped sticking them in the late 90's because they noticed the natural population accounted for 90%+ of the fish there.

[lavish granite]

Mine run up river from the big water it’s pretty cool

[rain wind]

All of em in the lake I caught are 100% land locked. No river.

[lavish granite]

Yeah wild fish almost always do better anyways

[thin kettle]

Hand measure coming tmrw

[lavish granite]

I’ll catch a steelhead smolt so I can get smallest too

Hopefully I can get a bigger laker tomorrow

[rain wind]

So does that mean I'm in first place now?

🤣

[obtuse island]

maybe

[thin kettle]

YES

[stray stone]

does this count?

[thin kettle]

Wut are those

[half fox]

Trout

[stray stone]

seatrout

saltwater trout

[thin kettle]

not a trout buddy

[stray stone]

yeah?
sand seatrout

[thin kettle]

its not a trout species

[stray stone]

never heard of saltwater trout

[thin kettle]

its a croaker

😭 my whole job is about trout

[obtuse island]

that is def not a croaker

[stray stone]

hm well i mean i’m southern and my dad tells me they’re white trout so idk man

[obtuse island]

sand trout/ white trout

[stray stone]

croakers are in redfish family

[obtuse island]

we need a spoon measurement 😂

[thin kettle]

thats where u got me confused

sea trout is different from a white trout, a sea trout is a part of the croaker family, and a white trout is a trout

[stray stone]

correct
but that from last month, they already been cooked

[obtuse island]

measure the spoon

[thin kettle]

my bad

[stray stone]

?

[thin kettle]

nah u just got me confused my fault

[stray stone]

oh

[thin kettle]

but then white trout or sand trout

is a trout

[stray stone]

oh alright

[hexed breach]

Literally you’re the only area that calls them that

[stray stone]

i mean these are from saltwater so idk

[obtuse island]

cope

[stray stone]

dawg here we don’t HAVE freshwater trout

that’s best i can do

[silver jolt]

i thought this comp was suppost to end by now

[hexed breach]

It’s through December

[north siren]

i should hit up the lake near me then, they just stocked again this week

longest one ive gotten at the moment was ~12"

[thin kettle]

Not a terrible fish🤷‍♂️

[north siren]

Oh for sure but not competitive enough to post here lol

[thin kettle]

😭plus man i trout fish daily and 23 is a tough fish to beat

Ive got 19 and thats it

[rain wind]

So did I win?

[thin kettle]
