Dulac trout

Fished in the drizzle this morning. Tiny trout under the birds first stop. Moved on to large flat and drifted into a nice body of 13-15s with a nice 17 incher as the biggest. Some good strikes on topwater but had many fish pull off when pulling them against the strong current.

Switched to a cork rig with double rigged deadly Dudley terror tails and it was sinking regularly. Fish came and went and finished the limit in about an hour and a half.

Was gonna play C&R for a while but a 30 lb + red wanted to play and I obliged. Right up until the Big Nasty buried the hook in my right ring finger. Back to the camp for a little first aid. First time is ever done the "push it through and clip it" method. Not too bad.

Red got away when the unpleasantness went down...

Nice box shot..... not so much on the finger.
