Big Lake 6/9
 

My Camp podna and I got an early start Saturday as we knew the wind would be slack and the Topwater action would be on. Well, the wind was wicked, as everyone saw, but did keep the temps down. We fished West, South and West started with Tops and ended with sacrificing some shrimp. Wound up with 13 nice trout, 7 Reds and a new boat record...........It was a first for me to witness. And yes, the Skitterwalk lived to fish another day. It was a nerve-wracking extraction.

Saw some monster ones in west cove Saturday morning. I like that last pic. Pretty cool....

Nice gar. I know some people who would have been happier to have caught that instead of 15 trout!!

Sweet last pic. Did you think you had a record trout when it hit?

Oh yeah, he thought he had the STAR Winner!............He would have been very disappointed if it had been because he hasn't entered The STAR...WT!?

:beathorse:

Did y'all keep tht gar?

Negative. I was just glad to get my bait back.
That thing had some nasty teeth.

Nice haul.....

Not entered in the STAR???? Come on Man!!:D

those gar are good eatin on the grill

cool pics

So is Chicken, Steaks, etc.
If you have to clean it with a Hatchet, I'm out:work:

I will before the weekend after that thing blew up my bait.
All I could think of was.......why am I not signed up with a 12# Trout on the end of my line.

You can't put a nasty fish like that in a BlackJack! I would not want to clean that beast for sure.

BJ said noooooo way I'm bringing that aboard.

Bet ya peed on yosef just a little bit TOO.:eek:

I sure did, after I put a HoeDog on its Snout. It jumped completely out of the water and thought was going to join us in the BlackJack. You can see the E-W mark near the end of it snout in the closeup.

Glad you have your topwater and all your fingers! LOL

That is some cool pics

Nice pics
