Same fish

Chalk,
Too bad I couldn't get that 30+ incher in that bait net you carry on your boat during our St. Andrew's trip. Guess it wouldn't have mattered anyway, your camera was broke. Sorry Dude.

I don't remember how big this one was.

Late December of 1970 after a strong freeze, I caught six specks over 7 pounds each out of one hole on one morning in the Steinhatchee River with one nearly pulling the scale to 8lbs. My brother had one over 8lbs. Dad had several at 7 lbs. Catch for the day with three fishermen was an old steel sided 40 quart coleman cooler full and one 30 gal tin trash can full. That was over 80 trout. When we left the hole at a little after 2 in the afternoon, you could walk across the boats back to Pace's fish camp/marina. The next morning, we ran up river to the bend in the river and caught as many or more trout and many nice reds. These trout were not as big, but most were over 4lbs. I saw one that day that was huge and said to be over 10lbs. It looked it. Now ya'll know how old I am

Same "bait net" (in picture) netted those two minnow

My biggest is 23". Don't have a photo.

Jen's biggest is 28" caught on Mosquito Lagoon in July 4, 2001, caught on a pigfish under a CT.

MY BIGGEST TROUT IN THE LAST 20 YEARS WAS 32" ,9.2 # CAUGHT UP IN STONEY ON A 52 M 24 MIRRO-LURE, MARCH OF 1995, DO NOT REMEMBER THE EXACT DAY. LARGEST I HAVE EVER CAUGHT WAS OVER IN BANNA RIVER BACK IN THE LATE THIRTIES, SHE WAS 36 " AND WEIGHED 10.8 #. ONLY HAVE PIC. OF THE ONE I CAUGHT AT STONEY BUT DO NOT KNOW HOW OT POST IT. COMPUTER ILLITERATE.
