Your biggest trout caught in/around V Bay?
 

Just curious to hear what's the biggest others have caught in and around the bay. I just started fishing the bay on the reg recently, but about 12 years ago me and a buddy hit some hammers at Tee Butte one afternoon in May. Weather was pretty good and had green water at the reef. We only caught 12 fish, but every one was over 5 lbs. and I caught one that was 7 lbs. Didn't measure it or take pictures (before cellphones with cameras) but it was as long as the icechest. Man that was fun!

Forgot to add, caught them all on queen cocahoes in LSU color. Would have loved to have had some big live croaker or pogies to try on them.

I caught a 26" 6lb 10oz trout on blue point about 10 years ago. Avocado red cocahoe. Only caught 3 that day. That one & a 4.5 & one a little over 5. When I was at the taxidermist with one I caught on big lake once they had a trout over there caught on one if the outside reefs was 27.5" and weighed 9.2lb. Was the weirdest looking trout I had ever seen and the biggest I have ever saw come from there.

4lb... Only fish bay when it's on in close. I'd rather take trip to bay than run thru marsh island. I guess it's a confidence thing


"Go ahead, share your opinion! I won't cry"

You can bet your a** I'm gonna hit Tee Butte hard this coming spring now that I have a boat again. I know a guy who's dad caught one a little over 7 at Dry Reef this past year also.

What's the largest you've ever heard about from the bay area?

Over/under on # of boats at blue point next weekend?

Biggest one was three years ago at 8lbs. Caught in weeks bay. We had 75 fish and that one barely stood out. We had a couple at six and many 4-5s. Following weekend I dropped one around the same size. So far this year only a couple of 5s.

8.2 3 years ago in the cove around 1pm on a she dog!!!!! Good times

I know a guy that claims he caught a 11.5 inside marsh island. I saw the pics. Really big fish prolly went close to 8 but he wouldn't come off that 11.5 noise. I told him to register it as would have been the number 2 or 3 in the state. He wasn't interested.

6lbs on a mirodine by tee butte about 5 years ago.

Sounds like a once in a lifetime trip. Awesome. :cheers:

definitely was! Let me see if I can find some pics

happened to have them on my work cpu. That big one right up front is the 8lber. You can see how it doesn't really stand out that much from the rest.

Crazy fish JPEFF

Wow! Definitely an awesome trip. What time of the year was that?

Did you mount that 8 pounder? I don't even have a pic of my 7, filet'd him.:(

my very stingy dad caught that 8lber and he hasn't mounted it yet, dang thing is still frozen in the freezer, I told him I'm not letting him keep another one like it and we are just going to get a replica next time. lol

I want to say it was in October, but could have been November. Crazy thing is we haven't found fish in that spot since that trip.

Sounds like my old man. He could catch the state record and he'd filet it before paying $300 to mount it.:*****:

Wow. That's some awesome fish.

That's a hog! If it was during the summer that would almost guarantee you a boat in the STAR tournament.

Speaking of the STAR, have there ever been any tagged redfish caught in the bay?
