jsalz Posted December 22, 2006 Report Posted December 22, 2006 I went out and bought some rainbow gear this year full of anticipation and hope. Tried many different spots, baits, lures, in the water, from the shore. Today after 2 months, finally I got a trout! Although it was a Brown Trout. Funny thing is, I drove all over the country side this year, bought different lures and produced nothing. Went out today (afternoon) 5 minutes from my house and used a lure that was in my box for 2 years that never produced anything but for some reason today, attracted this 9 pound male. Decided to keep him because I am all done for the season now and I obviously have not kept one yet. He's a little scratched up from the rocks in the St.Clair river here in Sarnia....
Gerritt Posted December 22, 2006 Report Posted December 22, 2006 hell looks like he was decomposing to me... Nice first trout....?¿? Gerritt.
FishFinder Posted December 22, 2006 Report Posted December 22, 2006 how long ago did you catch him, he looks in real bad shape, great job on your first trout though.
jsalz Posted December 22, 2006 Author Report Posted December 22, 2006 how long ago did you catch him, he looks in real bad shape, great job on your first trout though. He was dead in that picture about 2 hours. It looked like he'd been in a fight, but the old dudes that fish there every day said a lot of them look pretty beat up after spawning near these rocks. It's some pretty fast moving water. I didn't say he was the PRETTIEST trout!!! LOL
Greencoachdog Posted December 22, 2006 Report Posted December 22, 2006 Nice Trout Bubba! Function always comes before form in my book.

wishn4fishn Posted December 22, 2006 Report Posted December 22, 2006 Congrats. Nice kype on that guy. The million dollar question still remains unanswered. What's the magical lure??? I'm guessing red and white spoon.
Mike the Pike Posted December 22, 2006 Report Posted December 22, 2006 Congrats on your first trout a heavy one for a first.I hope he tastes good because he sure looks like road kill.
verno Posted December 22, 2006 Report Posted December 22, 2006 Congrats on your first one. Dont worry they all look like crap after you eat them.
