Interesting Trip to Big Lake 8-2-11
 

Well went fishing with my buddy and docked around 630 at the landing by the cameron jetties. Went north into the lake about 7 miles or so (really do not know names or places...still trying to learn) and found a few "fish". The entire days catch of keepers was pretty normal for us. We landed two Reds between 16-17 inches and let them go to grow, we released two trout between 13-13.5 inches, and we ended up with 6 trout for dinner. Two of those (one by me and the other by my friend) were pretty nice 3lbers. The interesting/crazy parts was that I broke a reel setting the hook on a fish only to discover it was a huge catfish...I do by cheaper reels. On my last cast which I announced before throwing, I thought I won the star :D. As I set the hook and reel it in I see something that at first glance appears to be a very large trout head then I snap out of that and think that I have a nice flounder.... turned out that a SEA TURTLE :eek: liked my bait. I did not take a picture since I was more concerned with releasing him unharmed...wish I would have though. All in all we caught 10 different species and had a blast doing it..Gotta love Saltwater fishing. Sorry for the long read and not the greatest pic but my camera went into the icechest yesterday by mistake :(

I was on big lake yesterday as well, we had the lake to ourselves!
