Calm down them trout's!

Post by Fish Masterson »

I don't know how many times I got one of them trout in the boat with a huge top water plug hangin out of his mouth. Them dang thangs will turn kamikazi on you quick. Try to reach in there and grab that fish, and he is sure to give you the "Mega Flop" and try to lodge as many of those free hooks into your hand as possible.
Well, just the other day, a thought occured to me. Why not whistle the little fighter a lullaby. I kinda laughed it off, but then thought, what the hey, I'll give her a shot(or a toot in this case) and believe it or not IT WORKED! The fish got plum still and I was able to get that hook out as safe as ever. I tried it several more times with the same results. So I share this knowledge in the name of research and ask that everyone that is so inclined as to try it, will post back with there results.
Thanks, Fish Masterson

Fish, I'll give it a try and let you know. But I need more information. What kind of music were you whistling? Do the trout prefer rock, easy listning, country, or what?
What was I supposed to do today?

The trick is to cut "donuts" or figure eights first to make em think they are surrounded and that they have no hope of escaping. They'll surrunder faster. :wink: Besides it's not possible to whistle while your jumping up and down hollering from excitement like I often do. :lol: :hammer:

CS... when you want to delete a post you need to be logged in and you should see a [x] in the upper right hand corner of the post. Click on it while whisl'n "you are my everything" and while on a high "C" hold the note for as long as you have breath. Everything will disapear! :o :wink: :thumbup:
