Lightning trout 02/17
ALRIGHT its here finally, i have heard so much about lightning trout. Everyone who has caught/seen or taste one of these bad boys has nothing but great things to say. Me like many others are probally wondering if the hype is really all its cracked up to be.
This year i set a series of goals for fishing and YUP!!!! lightning trout is one of them. I always miss it but NOT THIS YEAR.
So me and TROUT 1 decided to hit up stocking day, The plan was to meet at 5:30. That was the plan but honestly i was restless at night like a tweeker feinding, i was so excited. I ended up going to the lake at 2am. At 5:30 i called TROUT 1 to see where he was at, the guy was still asleep trying to act like he wasnt late lol. Anyway after sitting in my car waiting all night in freezing temps the gate opened. YES!!! i went and got a boat rental and waited for TROUT 1. he arrived around 6:30.
We Chilled at our spot near the damn for a while waiting like little kids for the lunch truck to arrive. I cant remember exactally the time it finally did all though i am thinking it was around 9am. Everyone stopped fishing and just starred at the stock tube while those bad boys came down. One guy across the lake screamed non stop "we want a big one" every lake has to have that annoying person. here is a pic of the boats in the water hitting up the lightings, It was cool being next to buddies from NEWPORT LANDING.
As for us, it was great these fish were hungry, I could have went with a lure but it just seemed to easy so i went with DROP SHOT worm using DREWS CUSTOMS, color CHARTRUSE PEPPER FLAKE..... man this was a great choice. TROUT 1 used DREWS CUSTOMS with BITE ON GARLIC and i believe he mainly used BLACK, another great choice for the day. These guys were on one, And boy they are fun to bring in. When you see them jump or surface the color is overwhelming to see. I guess i would describe it like a trout and a Koi made a love child. here is a pic of them while in the water.
We ended up leaving early since i limited out early, THIS IS A GOOD THING!!!. Here is a pic of me and TROUT 1 with out beuttiful lightnings.
here is a better pic of mine that i captured when i got home. My favorite was not the big one but second biggest due to a beuttiful hook jaw.
OHHHHH YEAAHHH!!!!! i almost forgot.. TASTE, well i havent had a chance to cook them up yet although look at this color in the pic below. TROUT 1 you can skin and filet a trout better than anyone i know.
NOW ITS YOUR TURN!!!! please post your stories of them, i would love to hear it.
