No WAY it was Lake Catherine.

I have on question: If someone post a picture this year of 4 guys, with 4 limits of big fish that are all legal, how many people will want to cry and lower the creel limits again because people are "raping" the lake?

^ This right here.

This was the outrage on Louisiana Sportsman website. Good catch, perfectly legal, a bunch of whiners that can't catch fish like that complained and get a new limit set

I saw this picture in 2003-2004....and this very picture got alot of attention...but not positive attention though,as some would think!! This was nothing more than an EGO massage and totally uncalled for!!! What these guys did wasn't illegal but immoral!!! Quite Disgusting I must say!!!

I urinated in Big Lake 3 times last weekend, not illegal, but some may call that immoral!

I agree with you 100% ,,,,,, No problem with anyone keeping trout...but these guys knew what they were after and killed all in there way!

It is different if a guy and his kids go out and catch a once in a lifetime stringer like that!!! These guys just made a Azz out them self!! Texas guys raping our waters! If we went to Baffin Bay and did this!!!! Just Image

Nope.....My dad taught me better than that! And Josh L and I could of done the same thing two years ago!

We were on huge slicks with big trout every cast! We only keep what did not swim off....They are on this stringer!

We only had 3 hours to fish then josh had to go cut rice!

If I wanted to Brag or Show Pics....We could of stung up 30 trout all over 4 to 7 lbs.....EASY

[yak'em-n-stack'em]

What is to gain by depleting breeding stock to freeze fish that are too big to taste as good as a 15-20 inch fish.

Most of you who are saying you don't care aren't the ones who are targeting trophy trout. You are filling a freezer. That's fine if that's what you want to do.
But what you don't understand is
BIG FISH BREED BIG FISH

Go ahead and kill the big ones and tell me how that affects trophies in the next few years

[Capt.B]

I release all fish over 5lbs, unless bleeding from the gills badly!! A lil conservation goes a long way folks!! These fish are our brood fish. These sows(males croak, females don't) will lay thousands of eggs each year with her genes...its almost the same concept as farming trophy white tail just backwards!! So if you don't want to mount the fish, take a pic and let her go!!!

[LaAngler]

the point is, don't take pics and post if you wanna rape & pillage.

[DUCKGOGETTER]

I agree yack them fish that size don't taste as good as a smaller fish so why keep them big fish just for bragging rights.
