Big trout will eat the smaller trout also, so debunk the thought above and if you of all people really think there is LESS pressure on the lake

How many trout have you cleaned with another trout inside???
I clean thousands of trout a year and I look in most of them to see what they are eating....I have Never in my life pulled another speckled trout out of a speck
I have pulled
Shrimp
Mullet
Shad
Sand trout
Croaker
Pogy
Crabs
Hooks
Baits
Snakes
Snails
Never once a speckle trout but I would love to hear how many of you have
Also I find it funny you laugh at J Poe??? He is on the water close to 300 days year and if he says there is less pressure " there is less pressure bottom line "
You sure don't have any time to prove him wrong or laugh at what he states as a fact
Which now makes me dis credit all your theories as you have proven you know zero about our situation
