Ya thats me in the top with the trout. I was pretty buzzed up at the time. An hour of drinking Summit with nips of whiskey will do that on an empty stomach
Trout are damn good to eat. They are a pretty oily fish compared to other fish like pike and walleye, but not as much as salmon.
We've been hittin'em on slinky weights with crawlers. The worm blower is key to get the bait off the bottom. That and a 12' pole to get it out there. That fish was almost 27".
Otherwise, its kinda like ice fishing with tip-ups. Cast out, set the rod, drink and play cribbage till something bites. Good times.
