Which would be.....

[Salty]

...the more memorable trip for you?

A) catching a limit of 22-24" trout

or

B) catching a 30" trout

[LaAngler]

depends on how much the 30 incher weighed

You tryin' to 'jack my thread?

A 30" trout.....a "ten pounder" is not one of the choices.

Chances are, if the fish was caught in Big Lake, it would be a PB. It's not like south Texas where 30" trout weigh 6.5 lbs. I'd take the 30"er and take my chances any day.

i would be happy either way....but more memorable 30 incher.... more enjoyable limit of 24 inchers cause that way i get more meat....only get two fillets from 30 incher

OK, here's another question:

If you were fortunate enough to catch a 30" trout, would you:

A) Take a pic and do your best to release it unharmed.
B) Take it straight to the taxidermist.
C) Take an electric knife to it.

Just load the boat.....

Depends on how much meat I have in the freezer!

I'd rather the 30 incher......take a pic, get weight, lenght, RELEASE and have replica mount made.

Too many coon azzes have taken option C though

[longsidelandry]

A combo of A,B and C. Take some good pics and measurements to get it replica mounted then make some grease pop!!!

I don't get to go fishing but a handful of times a year so EVERY legal fish I catch is staying in the boat. Sorry if you don't like it...

[LaAngler]

If I am going to do a mount, I would do a skin mount.

I think my minimum for a skin mount would be 9 pounds no matter what length.


The way I look at it, killing/cleaning a 8 lb plus trout is no different from doing it with a largemouth.

[speck-chaser]

I would have to lean towards the 30"er. But, either scenario would be great since Ive never done either. 25 - 24"-25" would be a blast. (All on topwater)
