Gentleman, after 16 years of getting skunked at a local lake, I finally landed my first couple Troute there.

submitted by 3Whuurs to whatever 3.0 yearsMay 17, 2022 03:26:41 ago (+26/-1)     (whatever)

After getting skunked 14 consecutive times over 16 years at a record trophy Troute lake in my area, (a beautiful lake) today I finally pulled my first 3 into the boat…..

It’s an hour away so I’ve driven over 1400 miles to this whuur in the last 2 decades and never once got one close enough to see, until today.

They were only 4-5 lb’rs so they weren’t the 23lb’rs the lk is known for, but they’re twice as fat as any I've caught at that length.

7hrs without a bite then 5 on the line and 3 in the boat in 45mins.

After that much time it would be wrong to say it wasn’t the best day fishing I’ve had.

if you fished salt water you'd never go to a lake again

Ain't that the truth.

What? I had as much fun catching bream in my pond as I did offshore fishing.

Inshore salt water fishing is the absolute top tier of fishing. Offshore is kind of boring, but pulling up and eating a Giant Grouper is awesome, so is getting in front of Mahi. Ive been trout fishing in BFE canada, it is pretty nice. But just on rivers and ponds in shit nhaa no thanks.

I’ve fished non tidal water sockeye, but never in the ocean.
Easily my favourite fishing though.

Trout?

[ - ] i_scream_trucks 3 points 3.0 yearsMay 17, 2022 07:37:54 ago (+3/-0)

Well done. You just caught all the damn fish in the oake

[ - ] Ffat20 3 points 3.0 yearsMay 17, 2022 05:42:40 ago (+3/-0)

Congratulations! Fishing is my absolute favorite hobby; it's the reason I get out of bed in the mornings.

I'll have to say that is some iron clad devotion. After 16 years of going to the same lake and getting skunked, much weaker fisherman would have either given up the hobby or tried somewhere else!

[ - ] Shotinthedark 0 points 3.0 yearsMay 17, 2022 15:24:48 ago (+0/-0)

Yeah 16 years no fish is nuts. I prefer 16 or so a day.

[ - ] 3Whuurs [op] 0 points 3.0 yearsMay 18, 2022 00:09:05 ago (+0/-0)

Oh ive fished and caught at least 3-400 trout at dozens of lakes in that time.
I only obsess over that lk cause it’s the record trophy trout lk in my area, and I once watched a guy pull an 11 lb’r out, which is far bigger then anything I’ve ever caught other then salmon.
That and it’s a particularly pretty lake and the 1st one to ice off in spring.

[ - ] Ffat20 0 points 3.0 yearsMay 18, 2022 05:42:20 ago (+0/-0)

That makes sense. I have a lake about an hour or so from me with a similar story.

I've seen multiple trophy musky (40 plus inches) pulled from that lake. I swear they're larger than my leg. I've had extremely great fishing days on that lake, but I've yet to land anything over 40.

It’s crazy how different the mountains are then the prairies.
With the exception of Salmon fishing, the prairies have 100s of times more monsters and just overall fish populations.
My cousin in the prairies swats away 3-4ft Musky’s and Pike like they’re an annoyance.
I thought a fukn gator head surfaced next to the boat the first time I saw him pull one in, and he was just annoyed that it wasn’t a bass.
Inland Mountain monsters are there, but they’re the exception, and it’s exactly inverse in the prairies it seems.

we all know fisherman have lots of tales.
pics or it didn't happen.
seriously though, congrats.

[ - ] 3Whuurs [op] 0 points 3.0 yearsMay 18, 2022 00:14:04 ago (+0/-0)

Thanks, they’re not monsters by any definition, but at about 20” they’re almost twice as fat as any I’ve caught that long.
All 3 were practically identical size, about 3.8lb

wtf is a troute and wtf is a whurr? are you drunk?

[ - ] Shotinthedark 0 points 3.0 yearsMay 17, 2022 15:22:30 ago (+0/-0)

French trout, rainbow sub species

[ - ] 3Whuurs [op] 1 point 3.0 yearsMay 18, 2022 00:37:26 ago (+1/-0)

Don’t bother, he’s vigorously jerking off whilst staring in the mirror, at the amazing victory he’s got catching a single misplaced “e” in the title.

[ - ] ToNigIsToNog 0 points 3.0 yearsMay 18, 2022 01:08:58 ago (+0/-0)

how clever. and what is a whurr? reiterating thw question, are you drunk?

[ - ] 3Whuurs [op] 0 points 3.0 yearsMay 18, 2022 01:17:52 ago (+0/-0)

What does “thw” mean?
Are you drunk?

[ - ] ToNigIsToNog 1 point 3.0 yearsMay 18, 2022 01:09:35 ago (+1/-0)

got a good laugh at this. I was going to say is this the variety that just jumps into the boat? "I surrender. I'd like to be baked please."

[ - ] Shotinthedark 0 points 3.0 yearsMay 18, 2022 14:14:39 ago (+0/-0)

The surrendering trout is good also.

[ - ] beece 1 point 3.0 yearsMay 17, 2022 09:09:03 ago (+1/-0)

Congrats! Hopefully the taste was as satisfying as the fishing.

[ - ] 3Whuurs [op] 0 points 3.0 yearsMay 18, 2022 00:39:07 ago (+0/-0)

Not a fan of trout, lol
It’s just all there is to catch within a few hours drive.

[ - ] Rowdybme 1 point 3.0 yearsMay 17, 2022 08:01:57 ago (+1/-0)

Man I thought I sucked

[ - ] GrayDragon 1 point 3.0 yearsMay 17, 2022 04:37:47 ago (+1/-0)

My friend had the same problem hunting bears for over a decade with no success. He was so happy when he bagged his first one.

Congratulations on the fish.

[ - ] 3Whuurs [op] 0 points 3.0 yearsMay 18, 2022 00:47:06 ago (+0/-0)

Thanks, a few people seem to have misunderstood the title. Lol
I’ve caught a few 100 in that same time, it’s only that one frigid unicorn lake that kept ghosting me all these years.

[ - ] UncleDoug 0 points 3.0 yearsMay 17, 2022 08:01:41 ago (+0/-0)

Do you have pictures of the catch and pictures of them as dinner?

[ - ] 3Whuurs [op] 1 point 3.0 yearsMay 18, 2022 00:40:43 ago (+1/-0)

All 3 were identical
I didn’t keep them though, can’t eat trout unless it’s deep fried within an hour of catching them.
More of a salmon guy.

[ - ] ToNigIsToNog 0 points 3.0 yearsMay 18, 2022 01:12:00 ago (+0/-0)

trout are members of the salmon family. anything other than king salmon is piss.

[ - ] UncleDoug 0 points 3.0 yearsMay 18, 2022 01:17:59 ago (+0/-0)

I beg to disagree, Rainbow trout is king. Compare side by side smoked Rainbow trout with smoked king salmon in a blind test and trout comes up trumps.

[ - ] paul_neri -1 points 3.0 yearsMay 17, 2022 04:55:29 ago (+0/-1)

I'm plesed you released them.

[ - ] x0x7 0 points 3.0 yearsMay 17, 2022 09:16:17 ago (+0/-0)

He was even nice enough to warm them up a bit after spending so much time in a cold lake, and then released them into an admitably smaller body of water.

[ - ] paul_neri 0 points 3.0 yearsMay 17, 2022 19:45:08 ago (+0/-0)

Clever but insensitive.
