Dude has more 8+ hanging on the wall than you see in your dreams. I can understand lying about a fish that one personally caught and released but why would you lie for a friend? #comebacktoreality

No...
What brings big trout into a lake???? Abundance of bait....that also brings in lots of small trout. With 15 trout limit you are not keeping the number of small trout down enough that 10-11lbs trout will not come to compete for food, when they can sit offshore and eat at will less competition ..

I believe the ship channel holds some 10 11 and even 12ibs trout in deeper holes but they don't move just sit and eat mullet and shrimp..

When lake limits were 50, and 25 you saw good numbers of 10lb trout and now its almost unheard of these days
I agree. Raise the limits where they should. Use to catch 7-8lb trout on the reg. And that's no lie. I haven't caught one over 7 in a long time.

This is why ...... You raise the limits back to 25 and I guarantee you have 10lb trout being caught in STAR ,shootouts and events like before .....


But politics figured they want a bunch of small trout and keep the hogs at bay

Maybe one caugt upper 10s but who let's go a freaken 11lb trout that will die that day it was letting go

It was not the guides who did that...it was a certain small group of guys who had Zero facts and got the CCA guys to help push it....

When you go catch 60 trout in 30 mins in june ....there is way to many trout
