If the average meat hauler pulls up to that same spot and catches a big sow.....it is luck. There is even a certain amount of luck involved in landing a trophy trout that's on the back end of a 50 yard cast.

What makes these guys better than any one else that fishes big lake??? Jeff Poe is 2000 points above all you mentioned below.... All these guys do is wade for trout...... If I spent the same amount of time in the water wading as I do fishing out of a boat.....I could land the same amount of big trout....
I dont wade hardly but I do something that lots of guys cant do and that is patten the trout to my own art....

Im sure guys on here can testify that im on trout year around! I also do not have other boats to call and give me info or who is fishing all week while im working to stay on fish...

Mastering fishing is the style you want to do!! This August I caught a 7lb plus trout 3 days in a row.....when most were not even catching fish!!....

Will does not like to fish numbers....He has patience and rather land a one 7lb fish than 100...... Bruce B same thing.... But I would bet Bruce B would tell you he can not stay on the constant numbers bit as well as I do....

Stulb also does not like to catch numbers...He rather wade or fish one area so he can land the big trout

I have had at least 7 or 8 guys land there personal best trout out of my boat this year and last.....with 3 Over 8lbs
