Default troutmaster
What is a troutmaster?My opinion is a fisherman or woman who can in any situation find and catch trout on artificials.Live bait and dead bait in my opinion dont count towards being a troutmaster cause there is nothing to mastering live or dead bait.Artificials you have to smewhat master.You need to be able to knw lure selection,color and presentaion for each situation.Also,fishing the birds dont count either.Just my definition so whats yalls definition cuz everybodys are different?Who in your opinion is the ultimate troutmaster of louisiana?

I agree with your definition except the part about the live bait. Sure live bait can drastically increase your numbers, but a troutmaster to me is about size of fish not numbers. But I also say it has to be a little bit with numbers because one monster doesnt make you a master either. you need to be able to catch large trout on a consistent basis by doing your homework and knowing how to and where to catch them even if it is using live bait

Hard to say who is the ultimate trout master in LA,
Top 4 for biglake in no picticular order
S. Nelson
B. Baugh
Will Drost
Jeff Poe


And fishing birds and live bait while in your "Masters" era to me is like any other angler, not a master. Obviously jeff now guides so that's kinda obsolete for him as of now.

I tend to agree with this. Live bait is a proven big fish tactic that works well when other options don't. To be a master, you have to know when to use what. If its live bait, so be it. A Master, imo, is also being able to consitantly catch large fish.

ETA - this ought to go over as well as your last controversial post trophy...

I think there are more than 4 who are all at or close to the same skillset, some of them just stay quiet.

this goes for the rest of LA also


I mean, a troutmaster could be someone who fishes at night in a offshore boat, a fly fisherman, a wadefisherman, a shrimp drift liner in lake p, etc.....

I would put my SFA partner against anyone on Big Lake. He is really something else when it comes to trout.

Artificial only....

Hands down best artificial fisherman on Big Lake in all categories...fly,numbers,wade,big trout.... Jeff Poe....
There is a long list of great one's on the lake... I could list a bunch... But 90% of them had teachers...someone who showed them a few ropes...

To me Jeff stands out of that crowd

Another thing to considere too is the area thats being fished. You might consistantly catch nice fish to the east of the state,but not ever catch the giant hawgs that are caught on the west side on a regular basis. Some areas just hold bigger fish. Just like v/b there is some big fish there,but a lot of the year the water is so fresh from the basin overflow,that your not gonna consistantly catch big fish year round,no matter if your a troutmaster or not.
