Capt G:
Thanks for the clarification. I hope that I am not misunderstood either. I don't want the trout plants to end. But if they do, then I am sure we will all adapt, but swimbait fishing will not be the same. That is one beautiful fish there! looks like a short fat bomb! That's the kind of fish we all look for. No net? man those hooks are sharp so I always stay away from them with a good net. I've been fishing with the Gloomis 957C. Which I am told can handle 10-12 oz baits. Who makes a big bait like that? What about the old hudd deluxe superbow? Can you still find those? Does rago make a large bait? I saw the stocker trout comes in black now. That's the bait I've been fishing and it has produced very well for me. But I would like to venture into larger baits. Thanks, and I am sorry if I offended you, none was meant.
