Release big trout over 5lb.'s just makes sense they just are not good to eat, and also I do it out of plain respect for those big sows that have lived that long.
I Love Big Lake and have seen it go threw cycles my whole life. My grandfather says since THE GILL NETTERS were banned that lake has made a 180 degree turn for the better. That was a big problem for them when they were kids. He said there was a few stumps in Prien but nothing further than Moss Lake. When the river was diverted to the ship channel, they built the locks up north which ultimately stopped the majority of fresh water from FREE FLOWING like before.

Before the weirs, there were not near as many gill nets and strike nets.
Daming up the marshes killed shrimping so the commercial fishermen went to gill nets and strike nets. The strike netters were the *******s of the lake. They would spot a flock of birds and surround them with a mile of strike net and catch every fish in the school. I have been surrounded by the strike nets and told to get out of their school of fish before.

All I can say is I know both of you guys......and I know BossHog spends more time on the water and has learned from the Best on the Lake.... I Know that Boss is a great fisherman as he and his family are all good.... I know CMdrost....he is big with the CCA and knows lots of info.... I myself disagree with some of his views but thats what makes it great....To get to bash out opinions..... I spend lots of time on the water also...not as much as BosShog but more than Chas...... So I really see both arguments.... Quote:
yea..........Get some popcorn.....

"I spend lots of time on the water also...not as much as BosShog but more than Chas...... So I really see both arguments...." Aint nobody cares who stays out on the water the most..what is this kindergarten? We care about who catches the biggest trout!

The stumps are in the same area as the "rock" to the east of the island but right where the old river runs.
How many realize that Big Lake was not there in its current form until after the Channel was dug in the 40's. There used to be a winding river, like that above the locks, that went all the way to the Gulf I would love to find a map that shows where the river ran before they dredged the channel
