Brent,
How long were u out there? Sucks to hear because the Diamond used to be a good winter fishery, and I've seen it becoming less and less of one as the years progress.
Fishing deep was usually the name of the game, but I've been watching a lot of tournament results and finding it to see that even those who are dialed down on bites and baits are struggling there.
Lightning Trout?!
That's like putting flashing Xmas lights on a 10 point buck, and sending him out into the woods during hunting season opener.
That largie and that striper were probably looking at each other, asking the trout if they lost a bet or something.
"Who painted y'all orange?"
